They are not playing any game
They make judgement calls and in the graders opinion there was an alteration. Are you sure grandpa never erased a mark or rubbed down a corner or some other technical alteration that was not done in malice but was discoverable in the grading room? I would also much rather have a company reject a good card, if this actually is, then holder a bad card. Not everything is some vast conspiracy when something does not go your way. Sometimes it's just bad luck or a tough break. This idea that joe or someone tells people to reject a card the first time it comes in is laughable. Would love to see the card in person may be able to tell you what they are seeing that concerns them. I personally would send back in, not because of some conspiracy but because opinions vary from person to person.
