...and two it’s still baffling NO ONE here knows who’s authenticating at NGC or PCGS....

And also as I have said, eliminate the hologram issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUJtqvYDnkg and https://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/defcon-21-successful-compromise-of-the-hologram-reported/

If I was scummy I can get custom holograms made for a few hundred dollars & if I was one of the people doing the grading it's an easy scam.

Or I buy funded collectables and peel & copy the key and then re-apply with what appears to be a 100% legit hologram. Then wait a year or 2 or 3. Then start to randomly cash them out. Not all, just one here or there. Even if BTC drops back to to $20000 it's still a profit for me since the holograms only cost me a few hundred bucks. A couple of coins at 0.05 or 0.1 and I'm profitable.

Sad but true.

Man that is a terrifying video. Sadly bad actors will always be around when money is involved. A shame what happened here with 1HoDL, his pieces looked great too.

God damnt. So this company seems to be offline and the video now “private” but the info for this was part of my write up for this scam ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5351100.20 ). Where they used a microscope and and eraser to make it so machine printed codes and other ways of putting in PKs can be exposed just that easy, not even having to peel. I may have screen recorded the video for it, I’ll have to look. It pisses me the fuck off the video is now not available.
