I personally have no need for a grading service and prefer my cards loose, but sadly, about 90% or more this hobby is incapable accurately grading card or even being able to tell if it has been altered or even a fake.

Grading services came about becuase of most people's inability to grade and the desire for a 3rd party to make a supposedly unbiased opinion of the grade. The same will more than likely happen with altered cards too. There just way too altered cards out there now.
