I don't know about that.

Throughout the early 90s, I refused to buy a single Goudey because I had heard and read stories about how people were rebuilding corners on 33 and 34 Goudeys. This was before grading had any hold over the marketplace.

As a kid in the late 70s and early 80s buying T206s, I was taught to measure them with a ruler to make sure they were the right size, because people used to cut them down to make them look better.

So I think it's been an issue longer than grading has been around, but I think it's more prevalent now that so many cards sell for huge money.
