The above applies to authenticity (including potential alteration/trimming issues) and not to grading. All collectors have the responsibility and ability to judge the grade of a card or other item. If a collector has a card in his possesion, he should be able to make a reasonable judgement of grade and, if it is not satisfactory, return the card. If a collector needs PSA or BGS or SGC five months later to tell them what Very Good is, I suggest they find another hobby ... If the seller has an explicit guarantee that card will grade PSA 7 or better, for example, then that's a different issue.
