One thing which came out of that event was SGC Closed down their autograph authentication service. That was a significant reaction in my opinion.

Not much has changed..and those doctored cards are still out there..in somebody's collection...and they know it....and someday will try to pass them on to another collector

Yes.... and far fewer (meaning hardly any) signed T206 have hit the market since then. I'd say it was a positive outcome.

Perhaps not so much for the altered card scandal (which is waaaaay larger in scope). Perhaps the FBI is still on it, but it's looking like the only real casualty is PWCC, who was booted from ebay.

If nothing else, the sleuths at Blowout helped us to steer clear of a whole bunch of dishonest sellers. That's some consolation, anyway.

I will be beyond disappointed if there are no consequences for the card doctors who have polluted this hobby. But even if that’s the case, it’s certainly been interesting and an education.

+1. Hopefully those who committed so much fraud will get their just dues. And that means some type of punishment other than only giving refunds of cards they altered and sold to deceive.
