Default Big problems in the hobby

Posted By: CoreyRS.hanus

I agree that slab and/or flip doctoring is an issue the hobby should be concerned about. Its potential ease of application coupled with a potentially stratospheric economic return suggests to me that con artists, if not employing it already, are at least seriously contemplating its use. I would think though that any grading company acting rationally, if not already, then certainly once the first documented case of an altered holder and/or flip appears, will strive to take steps to guard against it. After all, if the market begins to lose confidence in the integrity of a grading company's holder/flip, that company's cards will start to sell at a big discount and people will stop giving them new submissions.

EDITED for spelling
