Maybe a whole company would only need one person experienced enough to spot fakes. All cards could go through this one person, and he would completely ignore condition and look only for fake/altered.

Any he finds f/a get routed to an Aut slab, and any that he okays get forwarded to a pool of graders that have the grading criteria at hand and just look at condition, not authenticity or alterations.

One person experienced enough to see fakes quickly looking only at auth/alt could keep up with quite a few regular graders that spend more time with each card looking closely at condition. I bet anyone on this board could keep up with at least 5-10 graders if all you were looking for was auth/alt.

Anyway, that's the way I'd do it - it would be pretty efficient.

Just guessing at it.
