Well, guess what. Viet Nam fell to the communists and the rest of the world did not follow. Not even one single country.
I really doubt that if altered cards are slabbed that they will begin to take over the hobby. Serious collectors and investors would never buy them unless it's something truly rare. The only buyers would be the casual collector that wants the try and impress friends that don't know any better or someone who prefers style (looks) over substance (original state).
