I agree that many very high grade, pre war cards have likely been altered. But it’s not just high grade cards. How about perfectly centered 52 Topps Robinsons? If those are so tough to find centered, I wonder how many of the ones that are centered are that way unnaturally. Surely high grade cards are not the only altered cards sitting in slabs….

All grades of cards are altered. I have sold a lot of cards graded Authentic to 3s that magically resurfaced one or two grades higher in new slabs that have had work done to them.
