How exactly is block chain going to track a graded card that was cracked out of a psa holder

This is the path one could go down if an item were stolen, cracked out, and resubmitted for grading. You would potentially be able to identify the previous flip, but also who was the last owner.

Obviously there are a lot of assumptions, including consistent and willing participation by all parties involved. I was just trying to think of ways to solve for inconsistent population reports, understanding the "journey" of the card, tracking price, and even methods for discouraging theft.

The recent thread about the Mantle going missing at the National got me going. If this all sounds ridiculous, I apologize for taking up the space.
