For me, it all boils down to protecting my investment -- whether it is $3 or $30,000. Given the potential for alterations on 100 year old cardboard, it is insane not to have that investment protected by a guarantee of no alteration. If you have a guarantee of no alteration, then anything that happened to that card prior to your acquisition of that card is covered -- period. There should be no need for any further discussion on the topic. "S", "G" and "C" are three letters than sum all of the foregoing up for me so I don't have to keep writing it down long-form.

I continue to be perplexed by some collectors' needs to prove the purity of a 100-year old piece of cardboard, beyond a money-backed guarantee.
