TPG grading should be going the exact opposite direction. Would love to see the emergence of a grading company that simply determines whether the card is authentic and unaltered. Forget the arbitrary contrived number... the card's owner can determine that for himself.
+1000! I wish this was a choice offered by the current TPGs.

Pretty sure you can tell them to just authenticate the piece, and not give it a grade. Of course, while it’s an option, it’s not a particularly attractive option for most pieces that you expect to garner a grade above 1.

Yeah, here is an article about how MBA (Mike Baker Authenticated) will just authenticate if you want them too:

I wonder how many of these "best in class" cards are altered?

Imagine if there was ever a widespread revelation of the extent of card alteration.

I thought that's what AI was supposed to figure out?

That and then make undetectable fakes, so that everyone can have a 311 Mantle in PSA 10 for peanuts.
