So can we quit the bitching to this extreme level. It's not as extreme as your all making it seem, the sky is NOT falling. This post will be all forgotten by the time the next major auction comes out regardless of what BOA claims maybe altered. The big money investors don't care. Raulis your collection is beautiful and will always have value. You could sell these cards today with full disclosure and and you would still get a record price for your high grade PSA 9 willie mays cards.

For me that is really the only sad part about the whole thing. Known altered cards selling for the price of the very rare unaltered versions.
Cards have been altered for profit since the beginning of collecting. It also doesn't matter if you collect high end or complete beaters they have ALL been altered by people taking advantage of the easily taken advantage of card buyers.
Besides collecting what I collect my favorite part of the hobby is watching the scammers. Forums are amazingly hilarious for this. We have more than one card doctor on here. When they get exposed if it is someone nobody likes they get attacked and sometimes kicked off. Other times the card doctor is a hobby icon and the guy that bought the altered card gets attacked for calling out the card doctor. Now that is always funny reading.
