More emphasis on PWCC as the main auction company affected (the lone gunman theory). Also emphasis on the fact that legitimate "bumps" do happen. My comment/response: If grading is accurate, then anything other than a half point bump for a card graded before half points is an error.

This will continue to be the mantra of PSA / Beckett / etc. Even if 1,000 cards are proven to be altered/recolored, this will be talked about in the context of "1000 out of 2 million). (0.05% error rate or 99.95% accurate). My comment/response: I think the problem is much more pervasive and one cannot conclude every card not proven altered is clean/good.
I am pessimistic than the scandal will cause much change as a result. I believe that the "Scandal" will die down as a result.

The 1000 cards are, in turn, part of submissions probably totaling 10,000 cards. Does anyone realistically think only one card per sub is bad? Does anyone realistically think this is the only person altering cards? Not sure that line of magical thinking is going to persuade, even from the PSA spin masters.
