What I watched seems obviously wrong.

And when I soak an old T card I feel no remorse, a huge majority of those have been soaked before I was born.
And a corollary to that, there aren't enough natural cards to fill that demand for higher and higher grades, and the only way to fill it is for the TPGs to make certain compromises and let some altered cards through.
