Personally...I agree with the idea that there should be a higher standard for assuring a card has been unaltered...similar to what David and Scott did with my no name t206 a few years ago.
-min size requirements
-"quality" of edges/corners/color/sheen of trimmed edge vs untrimmed edge.
-fiber appearance/quality where trim was done
-added corners should be easy to detect
-added color should be easy to detect
-provenance
Obviously PSA is unable to detect most alterations...and just because of this it shouldn't be accepted in the hobby that this is ok!
Whether or not the hobby changes to accept alterations/restorations/"conservations" as ok...THERE NEEDS TO BE DISCLOSURE!!!!!!!
WITH NO DISCLOSURE THIS IS NOT OK!!!!!
