And to this, despite their website saying they use "state of the art" techniques to identify alterations, it's highly unlikely they are using black lights due to the huge numbers of bleached and recolored and rebuilt cards that they have given number grades. Even Joe Orlando has been quoted multiple times saying WTTE "grading is just people looking at cards."
