Greetings. I'm working on a book about Mastro Auctions and will be including a chapter on card doctoring trends. I'm interested in your opinions.
First, do the cards id'ed as doctored by Blowout Cards fall into the vintage or modern (after 1980) category? Have any studies been done on this trend?
Second, in the past couple of years have the number of cards id'ed as doctored gone up, down, or sideways? Just how big IS this problem?
Third, is there any way to stop the card doctors cold or will this be a problem for the foreseeable future?
Thanks for any insights you can provide. I appreciate your time. Peace and best of health.
