Has anybody had any experience with this. It would seem to be almost impossible but I have heard stories.

Not sure what you're asking. Do you want to know how to do this?

No someone that owned the card swapped it. Reinserted another card. Doesn't seem possible but like I said I heard of story that this happened to someone. I bought a card off ebay. After receiving it there was a bad crack on the right side. and the sides weren't flush. Seemed different. Didn't look like you could have reinserted a different card without damaging it but some stuff I don't have any idea about.

For shits and giggles. I bought an '89 Donruss Schilling in '89 UD Griffey PSA 8 slab a couple of years ago. They were trying to sell it as a PSA error, but everyone knew better, I think I was the only bid, and got it for like a buck. Obviously, cracked with the Schilling inserted.

If a slab's been cracked, it's usually pretty obvious.

Yes, there have been cases in the past where holders were partially opened, cards switched, and then re-sealed. The When It Was a Game scandal brought this to light:
