Call me crazy, but an authentication company should be able to authenticate. A grading company should be able to grade.
For your $5 a card, you aren't getting an FBI crime lab, you are getting a quick glance. And these cards are being doctored by experts. It is not realistic to expect grading services to stop every altered card that comes their way.
