If all cards are altered, it also makes one wonder how important the TPA grades will be. If two cards are largely alike and both known to be altered, will it make such a big difference it is graded a 9 or 10. The price valuations may change significantly.
Of course, then, if the cards are altered, they are all "AUTH" the traditional 1-10 grades won't apply.
I'm no lawyer, but it makes me wonder how liable people can be for the general artificial prices across the board in the hobby. I.e. if undiagnosed altered cards, shilling and other illegal trickery inflated prices across the board, how legally responsible those people can be held for contributing to the general fall in prices not just the specific instances the directly participated in. Just a ponderment.
