Looks like some of those who have admitted to altering for profit and/or accused of selling doctored cards, are planning to clean up the hobby.
No need to fear PCCE is here:

"In addition to facilitating intimate interaction between collector and collectible source, the PCCE will bring collectible leaders together to enhance the perception of the industry. Most experts agree that the collectibles industry, like most industries, has some negative aspects and a few less than reputable players. But because of the industry's explosive growth, the indiscretions of the few have had a tendency to overshadow the many positive developments overall. The PCCE will function as a quasi think tank hosted by an elite group of collectible leaders on the forefront of the industry's evolution who are actively committed to promoting its new professionalism, integrity and business acumen."
Initially I thought this was a joke. Now...I think it's a joke.
