It is 100% true. I needed a Ted Williams to complete a set. A fellow member and long time friend sent me a PSA 7 or 8 can't remember to finish the set. My set is ungraded so I cracked it out. In the slab it looked good. Once I cracked it out it was beyond obvious it had been seriously pressed and trimmed. The card was way thinner and kinda hard/stiff from being compressed.
