Default Jim Crandell's personal thread

Why is it easier to cover up an alteration to a low grade card than to a high grade card? Other than perhaps soaking, which probably in and of itself is not sufficient to upgrade a card to high grade, why would the typical alteration methods (e.g., trimming, rebuilt corners, added coloring) be more difficult to detect with a vg-ex card than with a nr mt/mt card? I don't understand that. Assuming the grading company is equally diligent looking for such things with low grade cards as they are with high grade cards, why should more things slip through with the low grade cards?
