And I always thought the rationale behind grading was to have a competent company opine as to the card's condition and authenticity. Now based on what's been said it would seem that at least in regard to PSA (anybody know how SGC works), the reliability behind the slab depends on the tier the card was graded in. And on the lowest tier sit graders who it seems are not qualified to make judgments about certain kinds of alterations. I suppose its just a matter of time before we start to see auction houses exploiting this situation by touting how the grade PSA assigned one of its offerings should be taken more seriously because it was evaluated in the highest grading tier.
