Im sure there are high grade vintage cards in PSA holders that have alterations that were not detected. Hard to know for sure now but the fact that it's in the holder seems to be enough for the collectors and investors bidding on these types of cards.

Yes, absolutely, the flip and holder sanitize it. From the Wagner on down. The flip is its own commodity. So it goes.

This pretty much sums up the state of the industry and once I came to this realization, I pretty much quit buying "investment cards".

Look at the middle picture of Ruth and enlarge it. There are at least 5 VISIBLE touch ups between his ear and his hand, along the bat. There's also one above the GG Co at the bottom left. Be careful out there.

Did anyone notice the Clemente at Heritage? Over 80k for a PSA 8. I thought 60k was getting a little crazy for that card.
