I think those who want to include the grading companies in this(and ebay) are on the wrong track. It should be aimed solely at those who deal in cards.

My idea is very similar to the one that Jay outlined--
there would be a set of business practices that dealers would agree to follow to get a collectors seal of approval on what they were allowed to do and not do to cards. They could then advertise it in their ads that they have this. It would hurt the business of those that did not have it.

There would be a group who would award this gold star to such dealers. Should it be alleged that certain dealers were not following these practices the gold star would be removed for a period of time.

I think this group should be made up solely of collectors who would agree to serve for a set period of time.
