ASA grading was the brainchild of Alan Hager, who many will remember. He was a retail dealer, wholesaler, author and grading company owner. He was also one of the great con men in the industry at the time. Virtually any high grade card of his slabbed by ASA has a good chance of being altered, but I never heard of any cases of him have ASA "grade" a bogus card. If resubmitted to PSA, you should certainly get an authentic and, now that PSA is providing graders notes you can pinpoint the alteration.
It is a beautiful card much coveted by football collectors.
