Things to think about:
1) Graders can know whose cards they are grading.
2) Higher graded cards and more expensive cards are rejected more frequently than lower graded or less valuable cards.
3) Not all graders are competent and some lack sufficient experience/abilities to assess alterations or the lack thereof.
4) Most cards are not graded by more than 1 grader.

Of course grading companies will deny most of the above but anyone who submits frequently will tell you the same thing.

Greg,
Does your average grader know how many PSA9 1961 Dick Cheneys there are? Thanks. Jeff
