Yep.
I feel more confident purchasing PSA graded cards in older holders.
Now some guys have been doctoring cards for a long time and just because you buy an old slab doesn't mean the card hasn't been doctored, however, I just feel there are
more card doctors now compared to back then. So recently graded waterfront cards have a
higher chance of being doctored compared to the ones that were graded in the past.
Another reason why a card today has a higher chance of being doctored is
value. Remember, 10 - 15 years ago many of these cards were worth
a lot less. Back then, you could buy a beautiful well-centered PSA 6 Hank Aaron rookie for around $600 USD. I just recently paid $4,000 USD for mine.
And finally, a card today has a higher chance of being trimmed because of the
centering craze (that only seems to be getting worse every year). Because collectors today pay large sums of money for well-centered cards, card trimmers are, well, giving them just that.
