Most probably suspect that a few altered cards have snuck through, but have no idea of the extent, or the iron-clad "before and after" evidence.
Not sure if the word will ever spread to an actual majority of collectors, but I suppose time will tell.

I agree with both of you. However, I hope it's blind ignorance to the scandal, and not willful ignorance. Following the many auctions out there since this scandal hit, PSA and PSA graded cards are still exalted as being a selling feature for a higher prices. And overall I'm not seeing much change in that, for the mid-grades I collect in (5-7).
