What if I buy a computer system described as new, slice the factory warranty sticker on the tower and discover they sold me a system frankensteined together with a bunch of used parts? Is the fact I needed to slice the sticker to inspect it enough for them to put the blame on ME, while conveniently overlooking the real fraud?

No. I would be 100% on the sellers side even if the asset received a PSA 1.

The card was altered. That does not have anything to do with a bunch of experts opining whether the card is a 4, or 5, or 6....

At some point someone doctored the card, and presumably GAI didn't discover the deception. All these years later, the deception was uncovered.

Outing doctored cards is a good thing, a public service to the hobby.

At least it used to be........ now I wonder...
