Bad Items From "The 6"

Re: Bad Items From "The 6"

As of now, I have made 3 attempts to talk with Panini, 1 to Topps and Upper Deck about the jerseys in their cards and have not received a response.

I will keep trying.

Re: Bad Items From "The 6"

Eric -

Just found a new link that basically covers the information previously discussed 'ad nauseum' in the other thread.

The only difference is this is the FBI's link and has contact info if anyone here has questions or information to add:

Six Men Charged with Fraud Involving Sports Memorabilia

I will be the first to point out that unlike the other links that were previously made available, the FBI does state the following in it's final paragraph on this page:

The public is reminded that indictments and informations contain only charges and are not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Just to show I'm not opposed to making any information I might find totally transparent.

Now that the other thread about the 6 people charged with a scheme to sell bad jerseys has been locked, I'm going to take the opportunity to open a new thread. If anyone has any specific information about the scheme, or how bad jerseys were consigned to the auction houses or sold to the card companies, post it here, or email me at ecky3@aol.com if you want it kept confidential.

If you had experiences where one of these dealers bought something from you and it ended up at auction as "game used," post it here.

If you worked in an auction house and heard of the scheme before it was made public, post it here. There must be people out there who can connect the dots. But we must deal in facts.
