Very interesting, Paul. The services that Kurt's Card Care performs and his products would not be illegal. However, I think the legal issue would be the potential "conspiracy to commit fraud" in this type of situation, along with the related crimes you mentioned (mail or wire fraud). Mainly due to the dollar amount involved. if it can be proven, he knows the customer is planning to defraud PSA (through grading, service levels, insurance, etc.). It all comes down to the intent to commit fraud (two or more people) and actions towards its completion (conspiracy). Certainly, some of his restoration videos show the completed act on behalf of the customer. Still, conspiracy between the parties would need to be proven as it relates to his services. Likely not hard to do by interviewing his customers. From a legal perspective, it seems plausible....especially with the victim being PSA and the eventual buyer of the card being defrauded. 18 U.S. Code § 1341 - Frauds and swindles If you restore cards and keep them for yourself, there is no legal issue. There could be criminal and civil exposure if you try to commit fraudulent activity through deception. I've never submitted to PSA, but it seems they need a legal disclaimer signed by the customer stating that no alteration has been performed on the cards submitted to give them victim standing. Good video.

@@vintagesportsshack It's tricky, man. Ultimately, you need to have an actual victim who has suffered a considerable loss (or continual loss in PSA's position) to file the report. If PSA doesn't take more forceful actions, it also exposes itself to liability (since it provides customer protection on its grading). It will take a real victim who has been harmed to move this issue along.

@@TheDetonator501 I'd love to chat to a lawyer on this. It might constitute fraud given the TC's of the submission process would have something around acknowledging that you haven't knowingly submitted a card that breaches their policies. i.e. if someone soaks a card and then submits to PSA with the intention to sell

@@DanTheCardMan2 Dan, as I shared, the issue will be identifying an actual victim who suffered considerable financial loss. PSA's Terms and Conditions state, "Customer represents and warrants that he/she has no knowledge and no reasonable basis to believe that any item submitted for grading has been altered in any way or is not genuine." A scenario I could see: Joe Dirt Bag buys a popular card in a PSA 7 with some defects. He intends to use restoration services to correct the defects and resubmit to PSA for a higher grade (to sell for profit). He then connects with "the restoration service," and together, they conspire to commit this fraud. The card gets submitted and returns a PSA 10 (1 of 1). It is then auctioned or sold to a buyer for $62,000. Within 8 months, the restoration treatment materials begin to erode, and some defects begin to reappear. The new card owner contacts PSA and seeks restitution for what happened since they authenticated it. PSA likely has some insurance for situations like this. For people who think PSA should be able to spot every restored card, that is not fair. We wouldn't expect a bank to spot every counterfeit bill that crosses the counter due to the volume of currency they receive. PSA grades a large volume of cards, so alterations could be difficult to consistently catch. Paul has done a good job of shining the spotlight on this issue. It really comes down to fraud and conspiracy. PSA could be a victim or the person who ends up with the alteration. Either way, a victim(s) with considerable loss is needed. Who knows how long these restoration treatment products last on the surface of the card. It is certain that Joe Dirt Bag only cares the treatment lasts as long as it takes to sale the altered card. Many of these KZbin "hobby influencers" have discussed this issue for weeks and typically show their lack of morals regarding what is happening from a fraud angle. However, there is certainly an appearance of fraud (odor of mendacity) that is occurring against PSA and the ultimate buyer of the altered cards. I can assure you that none of these "pro-restoration" people would want to pay a high amount for a card only later to find out it was altered and didn't deserve the grade. I look forward to any future segments you do on this issue as your videos are always well done. :)

PSA would quickly go out of business if they started turning people in to the FBI. To many people including myself buy raw cards from eBay and submit them. If i bought a card off ebay and then submitted it and PSA turned me in then why would i want to take the chance of buying cards and sending them in? Also if someone was to buy a card and use that stuff and then get turned in couldn't they just say hey i bought this from someone off ebay how was i supposed to know. So now card sells on eBay come to a halt. The card selling market on third party platforms would crash. instantly

Collectors have been posting videos for years now, using any sort of product to clean/restore cards using household cleaning supplies, lens cleaner, auto wax, etc... Now, I will say some of Kurt's methods are different. I have never seen anyone completely soak a card in a liquid before, but it certainly not the first time someone has used a cleaning product on a card. I am not defending these actions, just saying it has long been a part of the hobby with little push-back until now. There are tables set up at card shows now where people offer a "cleaning service" to prep your cards for grading. Many say, You are just cleaning a card to remove stains that were not originally on the card, so there is nothing wrong/deceptive about the practice. It is a big 'Grey Area' in the hobby. I think the real problem is that the Grading services cannot enforce a definitive set of guidelines until they can properly detect it during their grading service and that lies the Big problem.

The pro-cleaning/restoring crowd needs to talk to grading companies about labeling worked on cards as "restored", just like they do in comics for heavily restored copies. That would effectively legitimize the process as long as the work done is disclosed. They won't though because it will hurt their grift. They'd rather hide behind it's only "restoration" and "it's not hurting anyone" instead of admit what they are doing is deception, mostly in an attempt to try and take in larger profits when they sell this stuff.
