Adam,Unfortunately grading isn't perfect either. A few years back I bought a group of Zeenuts at auction and a few of the slabbed cards were actually counterfeit. I did not catch the problem initially, but once they were popped out they immediately jumped out to me. There wasn't a great deal of money involved in my case but I contacted a source at the grading company to notify them of the error and make them aware of the Zeenut counterfeits from the 70's. These counterfeits are now more than 40 years old and the paper stock has aged which masks some of the details.... Again, I haven't seen these latest counterfeits in hand, so I cannot elaborate on their quality ...or lack thereof...
