Stunning quote on altered cards

From an email from Evan Mathis to Sports Illustrated. Quote below and then link to article.

"To the purists who think a card should always be in its original condition: That just isn’t going to happen in the current state of the industry, and you should avoid buying graded cards.”

If Evan's right, the TPGs may not even be trying except in blatant cases.
