Seems like the logical next step for them.

It's somewhat ridiculous already that they don't. Not all "Authentic Altered" cards are the same, and their valuations lie on a spectrum. Comic book grading companies do this. If a book is altered, it gets a different color label and then a grade. Some altered cards look incredible and I'm more than happy to own them. Others, not so much.
