New Rule: Destroy Marked Cards

When a marked card is discover at the table, the floor should replace the card AND destroy the offending card at the table in view of the players. Marked cards have a tendency to show up again if not destroyed. We witnessed several times at the World Series where cards were removed from a deck only to be reintroduced to the deck sorting pile and made into a "previously owned" deck for play at another table.

I mean if poker is a major sport and is going to compete on that level then let’s act like a major sport. A baseball that is thrown out of play does not get recycled into the game later and they cost $14 a piece. Now how much exactly does a four of diamonds cost?
