But now hearing that fake graded cards are flooding the hobby now.

And just how flooding is flooding? Certainly there are reports about graded altered cards (with number grades) being ubiquitous. I think there's room to debate precisely how ubiquitous they are. And we each have our theories, which tend to run the gamut. Graded fakes seem less likely to be flooding in. My sense is it's more of a trickle, at least relative to the overall volume of graded cards.

Could you be more vague?

...or... Cards in fake holders (someone manufactured a counterfeit slab)? EDITED to add: I'm asking the group, not just the anonymous user who apparently spotted some flooding.

I thought I heard somewhere that some goons were running around with their own supply of slabs and a machine for making it happen. From what I've seen, the cards they snuck into those slabs, when closely inspected, suggested that there was clearly a problem. Cards that should grade at maybe a 5, but were in a 9 slab, etc. Before one of the TPG haters suggests that even the genuine ones experience this overgrading phenomenon, my experience is that such an extreme outcome is a real outlier.
