Not unreasonable at all to NEVER question it until being made aware of the possibility by yet others of greater hobby experience.
You could have the card for 20 years sitting in your safe and not give another thought to it's authentic grade, then upon taking it out find reason to question the possibility of alteration.
And subsequently need to seek recompense.
No?
You don't know the facts of this case, I do. I wouldn't have said what I said were it not so.
