Your language suggested there had been a reasonable number of total prosecutions.
"Surely there have been more prosecutions based on altered hobby material than shill bidding, not even close."
"Not even close" suggests to me a decent sample size.
But in any event, it is clear that there are no prosecutions for altered cards unless one counts Mastro, which is all I had asked. And I am guessing there aren't going to be any in the future.
So basically, the conspiracy of silence among auction houses dealers major collectors (and maybe even grading services, nothing would surprise me) will continue undeterred, as will rampant card doctoring. So it goes.
