Just how many times can you fall back on "oops I missed that one" Or the eventual "I really have no idea what I'm doing" before it really looks deliberate?

PSA has been in business for 25 plus years. If that were the case, someone who left would have spilled by now, in my opinion. As I recently told someone writing a story, in my opinion, it's a combination of the extreme sophistication and talent of card doctors, the lesser sophistication of some (probably junior) graders, and in some cases insufficient time spent. Just my opinion. If I'm proven wrong, so be it.

That's a great point. And pretty much the same one I make to conspiracy theory guys.

I'd love to have a look at one of the proven trimmed cards to see just how good the trim is.

It's probably not hard to buy one.

If there was one I could afford.....

I'd be all over one as an altered card if I could get it for like $20. Most are worth more even if they were slabbed as altered.

I was interested in picking up one of the fake Jeter auto cards they were showing on the Postwar side, but at $100+ each I just don't have the budget.
