Default Will provenance become more important?

I don't think anybody should or would pay 2-5x for a card from a famous collection if it is say an E102 common in VG condition. Why pay any premium at all?

But either way, it's up to the grading companies to improve their product, and if the flips are being faked then they have to work on making them more tamperproof. If they can heat seal the two halves together, they can laminate the flip under the plastic so it is virtually impossible to remove without destroying the holder.
