I couldn't disagree more. Collectors should not have to put up with a significant and growing percentage of cards in holders being altered. Lets say for sake of argument that 15% of pre-war cards in holders have been trimmed--lets say a year from now its 20%. You say know your cards and I am not disparaging your knowledge here but we are talking about alterations so sophisticated that they are getting past the graders....and as I have said many times there is as much alteration of crooks trying to get 3s to 4s and 4s to 5s as 7s to 8s.
