What a great opportunity to ask you a couple of questions:
1) What is your point of view on re-slabbing?
2) To prevent re-slabbing in the future (throwing off pop reports); do you anticipate the grading companies to insert an invisible to naked eye (red dye trace) so that when a card comes in to be graded; it will be seen that it has been graded before and therefore rejected back to owner?

Craig:
To address your questions, and this is my opinion only (MOO):
1. It has become a necessary evil. The arbitrary aspect and inconsistency that exists in TPG affords too much loss/gain by not cracking and resubbing "undergraded" examples.
2. I do not anticipate any TPG making any effort to identify or discourage resubbing or reslabbing of the same card. It is both a profit center and the nature of the beast and it appears the groundrules are pretty much established in that respect.
