Only a week to go, and no signs of warning, disclosure, addendum or withdrawal on the part of Heritage. Here's a preview...

There is a big distinction between buying trimmed cards in slabs with number grades and buying cards in Authentic Altered or A slabs.
If the alterations are caught and the slab discloses that information and somebody wants to own the card badly enough or doesn’t necessarily care one way or the other as long as it’s real then I have no issue with collectors buying those cards. I don’t own any personally but I would absolutely buy them as well if it was the right card for the right price. At least I’d be making an informed decision.
It goes without saying the trimmed and altered stuff that isn’t caught and shouldn’t be in numbered slabs is definitely a massive problem.
