AnonymousJim, another thought to mull over...
So, here's a scenario... Kevin goes to Andy Madec and he allows him to review a card you are considering buying. Kevin reviews the card and gives it the green light. What then? Does Madec allow him to affix a new tamper evident seal to the slab? Does Kevin use a portable slabbing machine to slab the slab? It seems to me that he'd have to create some tangible, trackable seal of approval for the card so it retains his certification long after it changes hands again and again. Also, what does he do if the card is altered? Does Madec still allow him to seal or slab it with a rejected label? That would seem to be key for other collectors... hang the scarlet letter around the cards that need to be shunned by the backbone of the hobby.
