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 have news for you: good cards get rejected all the time. Remember, all graders have different opinions, but only one person is going to examine your card. If he thinks it is altered, then he'll reject it, however, that doesn't mean the grader sitting across the table from him would do the same.

Oh, and if somebody were to stamp my card, I would drop-kick him.
