As for the card doctoring, I agree that it is a huge problem and believe me I've tried to get law enforcement involved at a Federal, state and local level. I know that several card doctors are aware of my failed efforts and sadly, it's empowered them that much more since they know how hard it is to get law enforcement to take the issue seriously. It's all very sad.

Dan- you have done, and tried to do, more than almost anyone else in the hobby to help with getting the doctoring culprits out of the hobby. I know what you went through (and it was a LOT). I applaud you for that. Your actions haven't gone unnoticed.
