I suspect PSA's graders, particularly if these cards are going to junior graders, just are not up to the task of detecting work by master card doctors. But that, IMO, has long been the case. As I've said many times, and quoting a friend of mine, for your modest grading fee you aren't buying a crime lab.

A related thread that, if true, is disturbing on several levels.

Modern collectors that don't read blowout are doing themselves a disservice.

You have to wonder if anyone really cares.

People care, the percentage of them is so low that nothing ever changes.

I guess, Ben. Seems like more and more and more of the hobby is moving to the holy trinity of PWCC, PSA, and altered cards.
