All of the grading companies make mistakes. They are professionals. Some are better than others. But they are human. The questions are: Who makes the fewest? and What can be done to reduce that number? My guess is that both PSA and SGC make mistakes on forgeries/alterations at a rate of far, far less than 1/1000. That is just a guess of course. The one time I bought a card that I thought was altered and it was missed by PSA, I made a couple of calls, sent the card back in for re-evaluation, and was issued a full refund within days. That was a very slight problem on the back of the card that I think 99 people out of 100 would never notice. Just my .02
