At this point, I'm not sure what is being accomplished by BODA continuing to call out some of these cards. Particularly those which were altered by guys like Moser. It's not like we're going to further tarnish his reputation. I think the message that he alters cards is pretty clear by now. Continuing to post examples of his work can only hurt innocent collectors at this point. And the legal exposure for the BODA crew is very much non-zero. If they are wrong about a card and it costs someone money, they could easily be sued. Similar suits are currently pending, in fact.
Does every high end collector just sit around and wait for their turn in the BODA hopper now? Should we all just light our 401c on fire now?
Or perhaps the opposite will happen. The more that BODA posts, the more the hobby learns about what sorts of alterations are possible, and how they can be performed. Perhaps we will start seeing some of these well known card doctors offering their services with links to the BODA threads for free marketing, "As seen on BODA"
