Frank,
I respectfully disagree with your statement,
"If folks would collect cards, instead of slabs, then people wouldn't be so inclined to trim, soak, wash, stretch, bleach, and otherwise tamper with the cards."

I think it is precisely because this was so prevalent that the graded card industry took off. It gave people confidence that these things were not happening to the cards they were buying.
