....ok, now that I said that out loud, a porthole to another universe just opened in the sky above me.

They say I have to go now.

If I am buying an SGC slabbed card, I would prefer SGC be the party that tells me if their slab has been altered, not PSA.

While the concept of authenticating the slabs is an interesting one, I don't think the market needs it, any more than the market needs a requirement that only slabbed cards can be sold. As long as buyers know the option is out there, a buyer can make his/her own determination what to require, at which point market forces will dictate what the seller will need to do.
