1. Not sure at this point but at least at BVG you can talk to a grader.
2. All cards are suspect to me, even in holders. Or I could just turn a blind eye to the blatant fraud the TPGs aren't catching.

My question is two-fold:
1. Which of the grading companies (if any) can I trust to spot an altered card?
2. Is there any trust given recent events or in general, or should I simply inspect all graded cards the same way I would raw cards?
Thanks in advance
