I think SGC did a great thing by at least now telling you the basic alteration they've detected.

In my jaded opinion it is about them avoiding being challenged on their findings. I would not expect them to take the time to inform us at the $30 level subs but think we are entitled to knowing their findings paying anything more than that.
SGC used to indicate on the card saver with a sharpie the area that resulted in a card being rejected, if they were returning in unslabbed.
Now TPG can just hide behind the fact that they are too busy to take the time. Again this all leads to less transparency, less value for your dollar and one more missed chance at being educated thereby making us better buyers and better submitters.
