No, Yes. But...…...let's see how the picture changes if/when this new TPG comes into being.
The situation reminds me in a way of something my company encounters with commercial real estate. The parking lots are meant for customers and employees. No overnight parking is allowed. Both of these rules used to be blatantly flouted despite signage and leaflets announcing violators will be towed. Then one day/night we started towing. From that point on the rules were followed.
The point is that talk is cheap. And that includes talk about this new fantastic TPG on the horizon. But IMO the actions people are taking now are not necessarily indicative of how they will act once the circumstances change -- which in the case of this hobby is a TPG that will allow a prospective buyer to know if the card is altered.
