What Joe is saying is that PSA no longer has enough experience in the grading room to catch alterations. He has not only heard and read countless collectors and dealers who are publicly pointing out trimmed cards in PSA holders but he himself has seen an overwhelming amount of junk in their holders. But the golden rule at CU is that once PSA has encapsulated the card then the card MUST be good.

Most cards that are trimmed and in holders can be spotted quite easily. Since other forms of alterations like reglossing, paper being added to corners or color added can be more difficult to detect, Joe does not have to address those examples, yet.
