From what I read on BO, yes...more times than not it is a card PWCC had some ownership of. There were lots of examples of cards SGC slabbed for PWCC that were clearly demonstrated as having been altered. PSA was not the only one doing the no look grading for him.

It seems to be safe to assume there are a lot of cards like this on the market. I recall reading on a thread here by someone who was not a fan of grading that the only purpose TPG served was to give legitimacy to card doctors.

To Me The Most Import Purpose TPG’s Serve, PSA and SGC is liquidity of their resale value.

That being said I’m a purest and will not buy a Altered Card in a Holder to me that means trimmed, bleached, or recolored.

I hear ya but I suspect despite our best efforts we all likely have altered cards in slabs with numerical grades in our collections.

To whoever has the card: Just crack the dang thing at this point, count your or whoever's loss, and enjoy it alongside the other 52 Topps in your collection. Sometimes you just have to LTSG.
