3) Sell the bogus card in the cracked holder with real flip and re-coup original money shelled out to buy the original valid card in 1) above;
4) Take the true psa 9 that you still have and resubmit to psa most likely garnering another psa 9 grade and repeat from step 2) above (all funds received from here on out are profits to the scammer);
5) Repeat over and over again.
Seems pretty simple and clear. Am I missing something? How is PSA complicit, heck even if PSA somehow noticed that someone was resubmitting the same card over and over it could be assumed that they were trying to obtain a higher grade.
I can think of only one solution, PSA has to start putting some type of marking on the card visible only under ultraviolet light. Any card they receive for grading with that marking has to ALSO BE SUBMITTED WITH THE ORIGINAL CASE AND FLIP IN ORDER TO BE REGRADED. What do you think of that solution?

Nice theory, but you're forgetting a few minor little details.
The slabs show no evidence of tampering (no frosting).
The flips show no sign of being cracked out (it's hard to crack out a card and not scratch and/or wrinkle the flip).
The same serial number on the flips are being used over and over on multiple cards (the flips are being mass produced).
