Gilbert MainesI don't know why things are done as they are, but I sure that there is a darn good reason for it. With regard to: How is the hobby prepared to deal with these very dangerous issues:
Tampering with encapsulated cards
If I wanted a card encapsulated, I would want it in an air tight slab. One which was sealed in an environment ideal for permanent card storage. That is, containing the optimum humidity level to assure no damage to the card, and pollutant free, to achieve the same objective.
Of course this slab would be designed to be never opened, as such, opening it would destroy the holder.
