Throw in a dash of Exponential Registry Pricing, egomaniacal Registry collectors with deep pockets, complicit third party graders, a complicit venue or three and an essentially unregulated hobby.

Is anyone really surprised?

Not only has the front door been left open for fraud, but a red carpet has been rolled out inviting trimmers, chemists, bleachers, graders, marketplaces, etc to prosper.

Tulip Mania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania) actually made more sense, but vintage registry baseball cards are a close second.

Happy collecting.
