Peter,
I get what you are saying. I won't argue that price gap. But this comes down to better analysis of cards and identifying restorations. Also defining tolerances so we can clearly address before and after photos popping up on message boards claiming fraud. TPG's simply need to take a stance. PWCC tenets did this.
CGC took a stance and it became a big part of their everyday operations. Who here questions card TPG's ability to do the same.
Ask a comic book veteran if they think a comic restoration expert can slip a book past CGC graders into the un-restored blue label.
Ask a sports card hobby veteran the same question about PSA or SGC.
