Has anyone noticed how dirty PWCC scans are?
Do they literally empty their vacuum bags on the scanner before scanning cards.
I have personally consigned with them and can see that my cards appear more damaged than they are… wtf. some people will probably be hesitant to bid thinking they’re not in line with the grade. Oh well, i guess the people that are use to buying through PWCC probably know the cards arrive in better condition than the scan.
I really like the word choice for the title of this thread.
Anyhow, I have noticed sometimes PWCC’s pictures are sometimes filthy with dust or hairs.
To be fair, these cases are absolute dust magnets. The scanner picks up things you wouldn’t see on a picture or in person. I know because my camera is absolute shit so I use my scanner most of the time.
Last week I tried 3-4 times to scan the same card. I cleaned scanner, wiped off any possible dust on the casing of the graded card and there were always tiny dots and such no matter what I did. lol
I’m not trying to defend these guys, but what I’d really like is that they used actual quality pictures.
Not what I expected when clicking the thread. Would like my click back please.
They seem to be a rather large consignment operation so you’d think they would pay a bit more attention to something like that. Maybe just a simple message to them letting them know would do the trick?
Worth a shot, but they don,t seem to really care. You’d ask ONE picture on a $100,000 item and they’d probably decline.
It’s not an excuse at all, but as far as I know it’s literally just 1 married couple running the entire operation? @garyis2000 would know more.
Brent and his wife have a pretty big team that helps them run things

I did not bid on an item because jpg compression in their pictures made an edge appear to have rails damage. The card ended ~$120 below market and I was willing to bid above market on it.
