Again, for the comic book corollary to make sense, the TPGs would have to spend more time grading the cards accurately. Not maintain status quo. Putting a "restored" baseball card flip in a standard set registry at a similar point value will infuriate their most invested collectors.

Maybe PSA could do labels with card doctor pedigree.

But more seriously, if TPGs disclosed the identify of submitters, and AHs and large ebay sellers disclosed the identify of consignors, this hobby would clean up real fast. Of course it will happen on the twelfth of never, because we have to protect the criminals as much as possible to keep up the cash flow.

How many AHs will reassure us they don't and won't take consignments from known card doctors?
