I am not a lawyer, I am asking people for responses to basic questions and being very respectful in doing it.
I started collecting cards 50 years ago so please don't lecture me about your time in the hobby.
There is a small group that hates graded cards--its led by Frank--ask him.
No doubt there are altered cards in graded company holders and perhaps the two you mentioned are among them.
We will never have 100% certainty but by raising these issues, getting dealer responses about their practices, establishing a code of conduct bin the industry, publicizing those dealers that endorse our criteria and increasing awareness among grading companies about our concerns we will make a difference. Heck, we have already made a difference.
Collect what you want and post what you want but for those of us that want to make a difference in the future of the hobby, please go back to what you were doing previously.
Jim
