To detect the masterful restoration on that card one would need two things:

1. A black light.

2. Five seconds to wave the black light over the card in a dark room.

When restoration is visible to the naked eye just from seeing a scan posted on the internet, it's certainly going to be detected by any grading company, unless you are sending it to CGI (Cataracts Grading, Inc.)

Maybe that's why the hardcore raw-holes are so grumpy about graded cards. Maybe they just used the wrong company once and it soured them on the whole concept of grading.
