I don't know... I'm actually pretty pissed at anyone who "treats" a card in a manner that the alteration is irreversible and permanent.
A. They've unnecessarily destroyed an important piece of history
B. Even though they had no ill-will or intent to re-sell or deceive,
no one lives forever (credit to Oingo Boingo). And when those tainted cards are passed down, there's a good likelihood that they'll end up in numbered slabs (assuming nothing changes as a result of the FBI probe). And then the saga continues... despite the lack of
intended fraud.
I'm with Adam in the sense that if Slabs have become too much worry and stress, look for segments of the hobby that are not reliant on TPG. There are many wonderful and fulfilling directions the hobby can take you!
