ToddI didn't mean to go off on Kevin, as I think he makes some good points in his other thread on cut cards. I just hate broad, conclusory statements. I acknowledge the existence of altered high grade cards, even to the point where I think it's not uncommon--I just don't believe its as rampant as others assert.
For my edification, and understanding that scans don't tell all and/or can themselves be doctored, please give me opinions on which PSA 8 cards from pre-1940 presently up on Ebay are altered. My search showed none up for pre-1930, but about a dozen or so from 1930-1939. Which of these cards are doctored:
