Greg, you make a very good and 100% accurate point about it brings or will bring morwe more slabing companies into the slabing field. Again this happened in th sports card field. There are 3 well known companies in the sports who have a fair amount or respect through out the industy. Then there are a bunch of here today, gone tomorrow companies. A few have survived, by being very generous with there grading. The hobby has been fairly successful at keeping those in the hobby and field when one of the fly by try to pull a fast one. It may not show up unless the item is ofeed for sale. I've seen one of these fly by's grade a 52 mantle as a 10, after a respected service had declared it as not original. There re buyers out there who want and have the means to obtain slabed material in all hobbies. If they are going to go that route, they need to deal with fair and honest grading concens.
