barrysloateBruce- those are good ideas but I don't know if you should nominate five people who may not have the time or interest to do this (and it's "Olbermann" for the record).
But a very good topic for discussion. As Jim C. mentioned, he did take the initiative and invited a bunch of us to his office in early 2007 to have a meeting and discuss this. Unfortunately, it didn't evolve.
Right now, the FBI is investigating one of the big auction houses for fraud, and I suspect they will include others too. Perhaps they will accomplish what hobbyists have not.
