Corey- I think the fairest system is one where a card is simply reevaluated, and it has a chance to be bumped up, bumped down, stay the same, or be deemed altered.

Now many would say why would you pay a fee and risk getting a bump down? Well, if you were sitting with say a hundred slabbed cards, you may only send in the twenty likeliest candidates to get upgrades. If you suspected you were sitting with a possibly altered card, you would never let them see it. But that isn't my point.

There are actually cards sitting in Authentic holders that are not trimmed at all. Maybe they were miscut at the factory, or are naturally a little small, or were simply holdered that way in error. The point is, not every card deemed altered is.

Did I answer your question, or am I rambling?
