This would not solve the sellers ills of the hobby, but would allow a buyer to locate reputable and respected sellers. Someone outside the hobby who is, say, buying a birthday present could find a seller on the list. The buyer may know nothing about cards and may not know the seller, but will identify him or her as a member of the organization. Other collecting areas have similar organizations which make it easier for collectors to find reputable sellers.
