That's perhaps the biggest part of the problem.
The indisputable "before and after" images have helped to sway opinion, but most collectors still don't know the extent of the fraud. And many who DO know simply don't care, or are hesitant to acknowledge it. Those who are heavily invested in PSA slabs would rather turn a blind eye or even defend the process... with many still looking to PSA to solve the procedural and ethical issues which plague the TPG industry.
Much like asking your drug dealer to administer addiction counseling.
