Mike Trout HGH Rumors Put Card Fondlers on Suicide Watch
Card collectors everywhere are SHOOK that their "investments" may be taking a nose dive.
News of golden boy Mike Trout allegedly using HGH has sent card collectors to social media and forums to clock in and defend the MLB star.
Blowout Forum has a thread that drips with fanboys falling over themselves to defend Trout.
A "doctor" chimed in to say HGH doesn't treat the condition Trout "had", supposedly a thyroid disorder.
Dorks, if Trout was taking HGH it was to get BUFF. Any medical condition was just a cover so he could use steroids "legally."
One Trout collector that doesn't seem concerned is Vegas Dave.
He purchased the 2009 Bowman Chrome Draft Mike Trout Superfractor 1/1 autograph for $400,000 in 2018.
Lately, Vegas Dave has stopped caring about sports cards once he got with bombshell Holly Sonders. Can you blame him?
Sports Card Radio asked a simple question on our Facebook page.
The choice is easy unless you're a card fondler obsessed with pictures of men.
Keep hugging your slabs. Scrubs.
Small Traditions LLC Accused of Card Trimming
Small Traditions LLC owner David Thorn is being accused of some big time card trimming.
Blowout Forum member, 3124508 on COMC, lays out significant evidence that shows many before and after items that have been trimmed or altered by Thorn.
3124508 on COMC is the same forum member who has helped expose numerous card trimmers including Gary "Scissor Hands" Moser and former NFL player Evan Mathis.
In addition to the card trimming, Thorn is believed to have a special relationship with PSA.
David Thorn
Thorn has attended invite only PSA events where high volume submitters like Small Traditions are able to meet with PSA’s graders in order to discuss discrepancies with cards that appear to be under-graded.
According to a letter Thorn sent Small Tradition customers, "the PSA Invitational event is one of the best opportunities of the year to realize successful reviews, when an under-graded card can be discussed in person and “bumped” to the next grading level."
PSA CEO Joe Orlando
Small Traditions also sponsors PSA's monthly sweepstakes, a contest for members on PSA's email list.
Thorn is also accused of creating fake provenance for many items sold through Small Traditions.
To make his auction description look and sound better, Thorn will create fake "finds", fake collection breaks, and fake consignors. In actuality, these items were things Thorn purchased individually on his Smalltraditions eBay account, and in most cases, are also trimmed.
Despite the card trimming relations of 2019, it didn't hurt PSA's business.
In fact, 2019 was a record year for the company. PSA has achieved revenue growth in 32 out of the last 33 quarters.

Former NFL player Evan Mathis has been accused of trimming sports cards.
News of the scandal broke on the Blowout Forum website.
Mathis is accused of selling trimmed cards through eBay consignors PWCC Marketplace, Probstein123 and COMC.

Several articles have been written about Mathis and his collection including:

Cards trimmed include this 1971 Topps Thurman Munson.
