CGC took a stance and it became a big part of their everyday operations. Who here questions card TPG's ability to do the same.
Ask a comic book veteran if they think a comic restoration expert can slip a book past CGC graders into the un-restored blue label.
Ask a sports card hobby veteran the same question about PSA or SGC.

I think PSA's current standards reflect, with some gray area perhaps around the edges, the collective hobby ethos of what is and is not acceptable. I see no need for any change to that. I don't think PWCC's proposals to change standards, leaving aside my personal sense of their disingenuousness, are helpful. The key is to improve detection and discourage card doctors and their enablers. Anyhow, I keep saying this so I'll stop.
