If the TPGs had ANY hindsight in their business, they probably should have scanned the encapsulated F/B of cards to show the card which was "certified" when the card was slabbed.
Going forward, they may consider doing that because they can open up an entirely new hobby service for which they can charge hobbyist.
They create a new cert/label that has a symbol indicating the card not only has a cert number, but there's an associated photo with it.
Then they can charge people a nominal fee if they want to see a picture of the card on line. This way the TPG has the data base and nobody would be able to contest it. Dang, then someone would figure out a way to hack the database and put fake pictures in... it's the world we live in...
