The scandal is far bigger than one high profile card or one corrupt auction house. It became obvious to me and a lot of other collectors that there was a major widespread grading problem 7 years ago and the people responsible did nothing to correct the problem but only stay silent, silence and ban the whistleblowers and when forced to answer questions brought up by their loyal followers they would "spin" the issues by discrediting the critics.
At some point the national media has to pick up on this, especially when Mastro does plead guilty and if there is any sense of justice there needs to be some drastic changes or just shut the operation down. The biggest problem is that most collectors don't want that to happen and they become as much as the problem as the people directly responsible.
