I'm not sure I've seen much discussion about the bleakest outcome. What if it's proven - statistically or otherwise - that a massive majority of PSA 4+ vintage in circulation has been recently doctored? While the remainder will merely exist under a cloud of suspicion? Add all that to the conflict of interest any owner of a slabbed card has right now?
Even after Huigens & Co are given their last rites, PWCC’s toxic tenets may survive him. We may find ourselves in a landscape where we adjust to a new normal and take alterations as they are. Because otherwise, we're just going to have a massive mish mosh of Authentic, to varying degrees of eye appeal.
