    Corey,

    Send customer service a scan of both sides and they will remove it for you.

    People have been known to do that when awards time is near.

    This way they can have a higher GPA.

    Good for you.

    As Scott said, just send in a scan. People often forget to delete items from their inventory and PSA is very good about quickly allowing the correct owner to include it in their sets. Having a cert. number stolen as you did is something else. I would assume it's some kid just being stupid. If it's an adult, oh well. Some people have nothing better to do I guess. Good luck. Don't let it bother you. Hope the sale goes well. - Kevin M.

    You can also call Cosetta at PSA, she always handles things nicely. She will ask you to send scans of front and back then she will remove the card from the dirtbags master set. I'd send the scans via email to her if that is doable, otherwise your letter may sit in her inbox before action is taken....see if she will accept scans this way, I don't see why she wouldn't.

    What's really stupid is the guy that put it in his Master Set already has the #1 set by a huge margin. There was no reason to take it for awards purposes.

    If you have it in your inventory, no one else can add it.

    Perhaps this is not the first he has stolen. Perhaps that is why the gentleman is currently #1.

    I add all of my certs to my inventory. It protects them from "theft" when posted for sale and acts as a confirmation upon receipt when sold and the buyer attempts to enter (I usually remove the cert in advance if I know the buyer or sent with signature confirmation).

    Demanding that he buy the card or threatening to report him to eBay could be construed as confrontational and would definitely not side well in a dispute. I understand your frustration, but there are wiser and quicker ways to handle the situation that would not leave you coming off in a bad light.

    If that's the case, then he has stolen a ton because his percentage is almost double the #2 set.

    Don't call, just send the scans to her right away. She'll see it first thing Monday and you'll have them removed by Tuesday.

    Dawg ... It's now removed so I would just let it go. You don't want that jerk doing things to screw up your auction as well (Very EZ to do). Good luck with your sale. Hope you get what you want.

    I would still call Cosetta and report this slimeball. If I had the power I'd nuke his Registry sets, toss him off the boards and toast his membership. As mentioned above, he may well have stolen certs from other guys who didnt', or don't have the cards in their inventory. Perhaps Cosetta can leverage him to provide scans of his stuff.

    Again, GL

    I would not have said anything until the auction ended. Maybe he had every intention of being the high bidder.

    Matters not his intentions, sounds like you are tying to give this THIEF a pass. How could you possibly use this logic? Like I said earlier, if I had the power this person would no longer be a Registry set owner, nor a board member. I aslo believe a thorough review and evaluation of his cards in all his sets are in order as it relates to the Registry.

    In my mind, there are only two ways you enter a cert to bolster your set...you bought the card, as in won and paid for it. You have an agreement with the previous owner to use the cert.

    I don't do anything until I have the card in my hands, but that's just me. I do know people who immediately put the card(s) into their sets about a nano-second after they win an auction.
  • PowderedH2OPowderedH2O Posts: 2,443 ✭✭
    I will sometimes put the card in my set after winning an auction if it is a seller that I have done business with a number of times and I have complete confidence on the arrival of the card. Worst comes to worst I remove it. But, isn't this just a stupid way of this thief working? I mean, it is one thing to steal a cert of a card with a population of 30 or 40... but a PSA 10 pop 1? Isn't that kinda obvious? Isn't that just begging to be outed? Not only a scumbag, but a dumb scumbag.

    I remember waking up one morning and having a card in my set that I did not own nor did
    I register it. Before we start calling people scumbags, and what have you, it is possible that
    this guy had no idea that this was even happening. As far fetched as it may sound, it is possible.

    In my case I removed it and then notified IIRC Cosetta.

    Just giving another perspective on this mess.

  • PowderedH2OPowderedH2O Posts: 2,443 ✭✭
    Steve, I agree with that in most cases. I've entered the wrong number a few times. I went to put in a Bowman football card not so long ago and missed it by a digit and found that I was the proud owner of a Luis Aparicio card. But the odds of this particular collector just happening to enter the cert number of a Jim Hunter card that just happened to be one of the few that he needed for his registry set is slim. Very slim. So, if that slim possiblity occurred, I apologize if you are reading this post whoever you are that did this, but I am 99% sure I got it right the first time.

    I don't think you understood my post, I did not enter anything.

    I simply woke up one morning and there it was.


    I agree, the chances that this happened in this case is remote, just possible.

    The only reason I even looked that morning was because I was actively working the set.

    (1965 Topps) I noticed my GPA was different, looked around and IIRC a Hector Lopez in PSA 9

    was in my set.

  • aro13aro13 Posts: 1,961 ✭✭✭
    Does PSA not offer a feature where you can add a card to your set to see what your ranking would be if you added the card? Perhaps that is what happened and it was inadvertently added in that fashion.
  • PowderedH2OPowderedH2O Posts: 2,443 ✭✭
    No, you would have to enter the cert number. The "What if" is just a random what if, no particular certs. I didn't see it before he took it down. He has pics up of the cards. Did he have a pic up of this one? If so, that would 100% seal the deal, since I doubt PSA would enter the cert AND load a photo up for him.

    I think the biggest lesson here is that people like this exist...therefore, put your graded cards into your inventory...problem eliminated.
  • joelsabijoelsabi Posts: 23
    i think this breeds of paranoia by the seller.

    i often enter a psa number just to see if it is a valid psa number and also to check the population of the card. i then delete the item once i have this information and bid accordingly. once i have have forgotten and gotten an email from the psa saying that i should remove it. no big deal, the person who owns it claimed it.

    anyways, if someone had put a card in his registry for awards purposes would be a total loser and can be reported to the psa and hope they take away any award.

    still i think this is crummy way to treat a potential buyer to post like this.

  • redlegsredlegs Posts: 936 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Hi,

    You can check the cert number without having to actually add the card to your own inventory. Not sure why this step would ever be needed.

    Well, I hadn't really thought of it before, but it is a pretty simple way to check your score AND check the pop. Otherwise those are two steps in two different parts of the site.

    Of course, I have the pop reports for my set downloaded and in Excel for easy research, but I'm a freak.

    Really? You'd add a card to your inventory just to see the population? Is it because it's tough to check the population report for ONE single card?
