Go BODA! Thanks for all your hard work.

Side note/thought - what if everyone kicked in $50 or $100 each year and we, as a hobby, hired BODA, and some guys trained by BODA, to just troll auctions and listings and out cards that appear to be altered. In other-words, the hobby voluntarily funds a watchdog TPG for the benefit of the hobby. Obviously it needs thought and there are many operational issues, not the least of which is funding, but I, for one, would contribute to that cause.
A number of people probably would contribute. But who's going to organize it? Over the years we've had lots of talk about forming a trade association but it's always someone else's job to actually do it.
