Return of the Meatballs. Here for the three Cs: cards, collectibles, and cavatappi. New account after randomly getting locked out of the old one.

Joined June 2025
I was randomly locked out of my account last week and it's not clear if there is any way to unlock it after reading about others with the same issue. So, I guess it's time for a meatballs redux.

12 takeaways from the 93-page document of 6,451 cards stolen from the infamous PSA shipment. Gotta start with the big one that was stolen: a 1998 SP Authentic Sign of the Times Michael Jordan Gold. Ouch.

Whoever this is, man, I feel for you. They need to get on here and tell us some serial numbers.

Thought this Willie Mays card currently listed with @GoldinCo was worth highlighting. Another 1/4 was sold years ago, and this specific copy looks very similar to the fakes linked to some @ebay accounts shutdown earlier this year. @Topps @Steve_Grad goldin.co/item/2004-topps-or…
Blowout found another account, linked to this individual. If @eBay keeps the account active, it would be wise to avoid the fakes sold via clearblueconsignment. blowoutforums.com/showthread… @SportsCardRadio @UpperDeckSports @Topps @PaniniAmerica sportscardradio.com/steven-t…

Our community has now sent 225 reports from 65 collectors, and 168 of them turned out to be confirmed fakes. Each one sits in the fraud registry, so the next person who checks that certificate sees the warning before they pay. 71 reports came in over the last 30 days, about 22% more than the month before. Two people deserve a proper thank-you. Tony still holds first place with 25 confirmed fakes; he got a Community Pass a few months ago. Sanchez sent 27 reports in three days, and he used the scans from his own paid subscription to do it. He now holds the second Community Pass: 500 free verifications a month, two and a half times what his paid plan gave him, so he can cancel it. Good work should pay off. Every confirmed report earns 3 free checks. If you've sent reports, your dashboard now shows where each one stands, how many bonus scans you've earned and where you sit on the leaderboard. Found a fake that isn't in the registry yet? Report it: checkcoa.com/report-fake

Every Original Diamond King, autographed. It took another collector and me TWENTY YEARS to complete this collection. Over 320 autographs featuring some of the most iconic players ever to play the game of baseball. I just wanted to share this incredible collection so everyone can enjoy it.

Saw some skepticism of the story and I get it. The guy didn't offer corroborating evidence. FWIW, he posted his packages were last scanned in Memphis in late September. Found someone else posting a container of mail that appeared to vanish in Memphis around that time.

A DEACTIVATED cert is helpful, but does little to identify or recover a card, especially when images are removed. @PSAcard needs to keep images public. Serial numbers and images are the keys to tracking, identifying, and potentially recovering these cards.
PSA officially confirms the theft of graded items from a “third-party shipping vehicle.” They say all certs for the stolen items have been deactivated. They will not say how many cards or how much $. Reports from @BosCardHunter and others say the value is in the millions. 😳😔

What AI is this seller using to “enhance” his or her listings? ChortGPT? Canthropic?

One of the hundreds of cards that sold last night below their hilariously overpriced "comps" from the past month. Where are all the Coinbase sourcers? Could've had a steal for their mega vibranium pack. Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.

So apparently my recent sub that popped of 48 cards at the $80 each price point was also on the truck that got robbed. As of now, I’m out around $8,000 worth of cards and just paid 4,000+ to have these graded. All certs deactivated and no path forward yet either.
PSA just emailed me letting me know that FedEx STOLE my 104 card submission. Over $100,000 in cards just gone....💔💔💔

There was another report that sounded like it was from the same incident. So, multiple PSA shipments stolen in this burglary. xitter.cf/skybcards/status/21115…
A Riftbound/TCG collector MrEnchanted got his $40,000 GMR Dark Magical Curtain serialized #095/100 stolen from a Fed Ex truck. Please contact him @mrenchanteddd on IG if you see this card in the wild. #tcg

Received my submission from @PSAcard back I was sold 8 x fake/counterfeit cards by this store on @eBay eBay won’t do anything. Talked with them on the phone and they said to contact PayPal, since I used @PayPal but it’s crazy because this store has TONS of feedback of this Paypal said they won’t do anything because it’s been over 30 days…. Do I have any other recourse?

Had someone share this recent @Collect auction with me, as a card that was previously flagged as being fake. With the @beckettcollect description and Fanatics auction photos, it appears the owner didn't include the also fake @UpperDeckSports COA. @nickbell @BeckettGMColin
Curious if anyone with a @vcpcards account can see if this sale is recorded, and if there were any images of the reverse provided. It's getting harder and harder to find old auction photos. Jordan card is fake, just trying to confirm the holograms match. ebay.us/m/N9o7Ab

Check out the side-by-side photos posted in this thread to see the subtle differences that were noticeable.
Cards with A.I. enhanced photos are selling for all time highs… you just hate to see it🤢 Called the seller out - he says it’s just a regular photo😅👍🏻 @CardPurchaser
