That's one heck of a gamble for the hypothetical person seeking to get into a numerical grade, betting 8k that all that recoloring and corner rebuilding will get past PSA or SGC or BVG-- on a high profile card they are sure to scrutinize with extra care. Also add in the repeated grading fee for a card of that stated value. Newly graded to the hobby dead centered, high grade Mantle rookies are also rather conspicuous cards, which would add another layer of difficulty. Clearly the alterations were done in a manner that made them detectable already by both TPGs. Time will tell. Wish I could find one like that unaltered!
