But it would only take one or two transactions involving that card before the history of the alteration was lost, even with perfect disclosure by the original doctor.
FACT -- if the card has been slabbed a PSA 7, it will sell like any 7 eventually, no matter what the history of the doctoring is.
The frustrating aspect of this link for me is that some people are so concerned with undetectable historical alterations. It does not compute to me -- and the only answers you get are basically fanatic responses like "TABOO!" with nary an explanation for why an undetectable alteration matters to them. "But Paul, just because its undetectable doesn't mean it didn't happen." Yeah, but so what. Seriously, so what.
