Well, I guess that when it comes to SGC, there are the "haves" and the "have nots". Those who've posted here are definitely the "have nots".
Here's a link to a thread that features the "haves"...

If you "have" enough money, SGC will grant you that high number grade on your altered/trimmed card. Plenty of examples to peruse through... including a $42,000 Joe Jackson PSA 8, that was altered into an SGC 9.
Do you really think the card doctor would have even risked trimming such an expensive card without KNOWING FULL WELL he would get the upgrade? If this doesn't wreak of favoritism and corruption, I have know idea what does.
The common collector routinely gets screwed while the preferred fraudsters make more for a few minutes work than most people will earn in a full year.
