I think that may be why the grading companies charge more for grading high $$ cards than low $$ cards. It SHOULD allow for more scrutiny. The actual encasement doesn't cost anything more, so the only explanation would/should be that they are looking more closely at the card to determine just such alteration possiblities. Judging from some of the comments on the other threads though, there are some HIGHLY skilled people out there who may be able to perform alterations on cards that are difficult to detect.
