I wonder how many of these "best in class" cards are altered?

Imagine if there was ever a widespread revelation of the extent of card alteration.

I thought that's what AI was supposed to figure out?

That and then make undetectable fakes, so that everyone can have a 311 Mantle in PSA 10 for peanuts.

Why not just grade cards to 11????

10 is good but if it goes to 11!!!! Well then, you now have my attention.

I find it strange that someone would need to tell you if a card has eye appeal or not when the auction already relies heavily on clear photos of the item for sale.

Zero chance the designation is influenced by money and/or politics.
