As I recall there was a great deal of skepticism when the Harris Collection was slabbed by PSA back in the day.

I still remember when going to card shows in the 80's and seeing these vintage cards and even as a kid, I knew many of the cards didn't look natural. That was one of the reasons I stayed away from pre-war for so long. At the time, I was more experienced with coins and there were so many cleaned coins even back then. Currently a majority of older coins on eBay are cleaned or altered in some way. I'm guessing older baseball cards follow a similar percentage of being altered also.

If you can't beat em'...join them...huh Ted??????
I have a hard time believing as many cards currently exist in uber high grade from the tobacco era. IMO...most T/E cards graded 7+ have been messed with
