This hobby is never going to police itself, IMO. Too much sleaze and too much money. It will take law enforcement.
Let me clarify: I wasn't referring to the known card doctors, but third oarty paper restorers who are not actively involved in the hobby. I realize that nobody cares enough to do anything, and would prefer the status quo. But I just wanted to make a suggestion.
