Would the Hobby welcome a new TPG Co.that was high tech?

[SMPEP]

My vote would be .. yes I think people would be interested.

But the one thing that a good TPG should be doing in my opinion ... maintain a database with front/back scans of all the cards they grade .... so that before someone buys a card ... they can look it up and see if it's the same card. After all, anyone can produce a fake PSA slab and label. They can stick anything in there. And you will never know. But if you have the ability to see if it looks like what the company graded ... then at least there's one more check that this is accurate.

I also like the idea of having the owner's name of that card associated with it. As it changes hands, the seller/buyer can update. Some may not want to have their names associated with their cards - so it could be voluntary instead of mandatory. But this would be yet another way to verify the card. If I know XXX owns it, and YYY is selling it on Ebay ... that's a pretty good red flag there.

Just my 2 cents.
