Jeff,

I'm not sure if you saw that thread where Collectors Universe and PCGS (the coin grading division) has filed suit against a group of coin doctors. Here's the news release and actual complaint:

One of the causes of action is unfair competition. The question then begs to be asked, "Unfair to whom"? Well as it turns out, the same David Hall, president of Collectors Universe as mentioned above, runs a huge coin business, humbly called, "David Hall Rare Coins".

Using that logic, it would follow what this hobby needs as a safeguard is for PSA president Joe Orlando to start up his own PSA graded card business and call it something like, "Joe Orlando Rare Cards", then we'd see a big crackdown on these alleged card doctors that are rumored to exist in this hobby.
