usually high-end cards get faked..from what i read, PSA and SGC are more common to be cracked open and if done right they insert a fake or lesser grade version of the card and re-seal it...some say using super glue or something. But as a novice you can see the frosting on the slabs on the edges where they take a screwdriver or other tool. They also can re-do the labels too. They can put the real serial number on it to match the card, maybe looking at others pics on Ebay and copying since they are in the registry. Just becasue you check the registry, doesnt always mean its good.
People crack slabs, well thinking they can cross-over to a different grader like from sgc to psa. Other do it, because they collect raw.
Other here, may add more details, but i covered the basic i think
