I think one issue here (legally) is that there is no legal definition of a baseball card grade. It's an opinion.
If I trim a card and say it's now mint, then it's mint. No law has been broken by being a real crappy person and doing that. Now if the buyer asks if it's been trimmed I have to disclose that.
A TPG exists only on reputation. They can't be legally held liable for their grading standards or procedures.
