Jim also said many times that he never had any intention of letting PSA examine his cards again to see if any of them were altered, since that would clearly devalue his collection.

But when offered a sweet deal to have a percentage of the cards bumped up half a grade, thus increasing their value, the Brinks trucks can't back up in his driveway fast enough.

Wouldn't the most sensible and realistic approach be to have PSA bump up the cards that are high end for the grade, and at the same time weed out the ones that should never have been graded in the first place?

You would then be left with a collection where every card is precisely graded, and you would likely still come out ahead.
