Great topic. Let's compare the evils of the hobby today vs the late 80's/early 90's:
Common
People trimmed cards
People re-colored cards
People counterfeited cards
People pressed out creases
People re-built corners
People were un-ethical
People cheated people
Different
The value of cards
I guess what I am saying is that there always have been this element in the hobby and probably always will be. The main difference I see is the value of the cards have increased exponentially and people have more to lose.
This doesn't mean we shouldn't do everything we can to try and clean the hobby.
