With today’s technology they can slip through grading companies as has been mentioned numerous times on this forum.

The possible flaw I see in your logic is that you're assuming whoever acquired the collections and then submitted them didn't alter them. Do we really trust Doug Allen not to have touched any of Lionel Carter's cards, for example?
