I would just like to highlight a point that has been ignored. Everybody is talking about cards in 7-10 grades. The Lajoie card that Rob Lifson highlighted was graded far below that. All alterations that adjust grades can potentially reap profits, though clearly bumps to the 8,9, and 10 range can reap the greatest financial payback on the right cards. I think it would be naive to assume that one does not need to shrewdly examine cards in lower grades. If the focus of watchdogs is only on PSA 9s, then the cheaters will just shift from altering cards from vg to ex.
