Card doctoring video

When someone buys the best graded cards they can find... they need to realize that the TPGers are fallible and foolable, and that the senseless (my opinion) high value those graded cards demand creates an environment that feeds, fuels and encourages the slicing, trimming, waxing out there.

What I watched seems obviously wrong.

And when I soak an old T card I feel no remorse, a huge majority of those have been soaked before I was born.

And a corollary to that, there aren't enough natural cards to fill that demand for higher and higher grades, and the only way to fill it is for the TPGs to make certain compromises and let some altered cards through.
