Pretty broad statement.
I think it depends on the sort of card and grade.
I'd be very surprised if many of the VG/VG-EX cards are altered. Prewar with Higher grades or more expensive postwar in realy high grade It's probably more likely. (And the percentage will depend on what each person considers altered - Lets not get into that again so soon)
My collection has a few altered cards. Most are obvious, but aren't bad looking. I also have some that aren't altered, but wouldn't get a number grade. Either because of an odd cut, or being undersize. Since nearly everyone considers undersize as "trimmed" rather than looking at what a factory edge looks like compared to one cut later I'm ok with tpg rejecting them.
