Joe D.This forum already is a collector's association.
And better than most any that can be created... for the fact that opinions vary and a disagreements are voiced.
If we want to make a difference - I have a suggestion for the least intrusive / most effective way to do so:
The poll feature can be a powerful tool.
Every so often, lets have a HOBBY ISSUE poll.
The results of which can be forwarded to grading companies and auction houses.
If actual poll data is submitted as evidence - it puts pressure on organizations to be more vigilant and ethical.
In the end / the grading companies and to some extent the auction houses will be the most important piece in the puzzle with regard to any potential hobby cleanup. Giving them the evidence they need to shape their business practices is the best / quickest / easiest / most powerful way to help better this hobby.
