It's possible, but it would have to be very rare for something of that magnitude to happen in this hobby IMO.
PS - that's a compliment to all the members of this board who tirelessly monitor this hobby. KUDOS!
Wishful thinking. In my opinion, it's quite widespread. Most cards pass well under the radar, and this board sees a small fraction of cards.
