If you put a slab inside another slab you may not be able to see the card. It's a little like Jerry Seinfeld's joke that he has put so many coats of paint on the walls his apartment is getting smaller. I know that in the past there have been efforts to organize a committee whose job it would be to clean up the hobby. But it never has come to pass. I think it's a great idea conceptually but one that may be difficult to put into practice. The dealers who are likely to join will be the ones who are most honest anyway, and the ones who don't are the ones we need to keep an eye on. You may argue not having this "seal" will hurt their business but they will still find ways to operate on the fringe.
