I really wish they simply did not "grade" cards. There should be two classifications of cards
"Authentic, Unaltered"
"Authentic, Altered"
The first of which asserts the card is genuine, and has not been manipulated. The second of which states the card is also genuine but has been manipulated (dyed, soaked, bleached, pressed, trimmed etc.)
Beyond that, the human eye, and good scans can determine condition. If a company came out that simply offered those two attributes, I'd use them.
