What if grading companies could do this???????

I would not like this at all. Not even getting into the whole issue of whether adding some invisible mark or tiny printing is, in itself, an alteration, I wouldn't want the mark / printing. At the end of the day, PSA / SGC / GAI is just offering one opinion - and aside from that, the grade is just the opinion of the grader who looked at the card. If PSA says a card is a 7 and I crack and submit it to SGC and they say it is an 8 and I crack and submit to GAI and they say it is a 6 and I crack and submit to PSA or SGC again and they say it is a 9 - who was right? If PSA marked the card the first time, who's to say that PSA and that particular grader was right? What is they made a mistake and the card is really a 6 or an 8 or 9?
