According to the charges, the 6 people charged by the FBI sold to the card companies. Here's the exact wording...
"It was also a part of the scheme to defraud that the defendant and others involved in the scheme re-sold, consigned, and auctioned the same jerseys for hundreds of thousands of dollars to sports trading card companies and other buyers by falsely and fraudulently misrepresenting to the buyers that the jerseys were game used, when in fact, as the defendant well knew, the jerseys were not game used."
Have the card companies commented on this????
Doesn't this call into question the value of the high-priced cards in the high-priced packs that they sell?
I'm going to reach out to the companies and see what they say. I haven't seen this angle reported anywhere...
