I'm glad to see a post about this topic. First off, it's my understanding that CAC has found that 15% of the coins graded by CU are doctored.
Also I for one can vouch for Kevin Saucier as being a competent detector of alterations in slabs. As for the business side of it, I recall he said that it requires roughly 15 minutes to truly evaluate a card in a slab for every possible alteration. Whether a business can work on those types of constraints remains to be seen. Global (Mike Baker) also tried this and it didn't seem to take off.

I don't think so.

If there really is someone who can detect an altered card with far greater accuracy than the grading services, why not skip the TPG altogether and just send it to him. I don't understand why two people have to look at it. Why not just pick the one most skilled?

That's it!
Finally! Sanity comes to our hobby! Grading the graders. It's such a simple concept. fade to daydream sequence... We see a collector opening his mail at the kitchen table in 2043... He smiles to see that the International Grading All Graders Society (I-GAGS) has certified that certification by the Society Uv Card Kings (SUCK) who had certified the grading certificate by CAC of his PSA graded card. Now he could rest easy that his Kevin Maas rookie card was in fact a 5.5 on a 10 scale. end dream sequence. Apologies for changing the spelling of the word "of" for sake of a witty acronym. Doug

Slabbing slabs. It's been smashed around here in at least 2 different threads over the years. I'd rather spend the money on another card rather than a slab or a slabbed slab.
