I absolutely agree with this....no doubt some lesser graded cards are altered but not the extent of the more highly graded ones. I worry very little about my 1's-3's.....though understand they could have had one of their many creases removed or one of their super rounded corners trimmed at one time....I am very comfortable the way I collect just as I hope everyone else is too. I think Corey made a good point about provenance too.
How many of the people defending high grade cards would be comfortable owning a mini-T206 from the Harris collection, in a high grade holder?
