Bottom of the Ninththe issue is that everyone here has ASSUMED this card is altered. Define altered? How can 3 grading companies be wrong if it is so obvious to those here? Maybe because of the people who post here I am the only one who has held the card in it's so called "altered" state. Maybe as I said, this card has not undergone anything nearly as extreme as what Warshaw JD, MD does to his cards. As I stated the card still has missing lettering on the reverse, noticeable creases and missing stock on the front. The back is still discolored and there are still caramel stains. The back even has the area that Scott described as a lift.
I am not an apologist for the grading companies but I also contend that nothing drastic had been done to the card. When I got the card back from SGC ungraded I sold it as altered because the issue was still fresh in my mind. The person I sold it to also thought the card was ok and therefore sent the card in for grading only to have it grade a 3rd time.
