Submitters would not have the option of having "bad" cards simply returned so they could be resubmitted until they passed. Now altered cards are going from one HA to another until sold. With the "stamp" buyers at least would know what they are getting and adjust bids according.
I believe something of this sort would help in eliminating fraud that exists in the hobby.

I don't like this idea. Here's why. I've heard of people pulling cards directly from packs, sending them in to be graded and coming back as EOT. Cards that couldn't have possibly been trimmed are labeled as such. So, what's to keep PSA from stamping a card with an A when indeed it was not altered? Heck, they can't even identify altered cards now.
