    Tampering ?

    Would it be immediately obvious if a graded card was tampered with/switched from looking at the holder? The reason I ask is that I haev a BGS 9.5 Lindros RC, and I don't see how it got a 9.5. It got a 9 for corners and I can see visibile (to the naked eye) damage to one corner. It also got a 9.5 for edges, but they seem rough. ARe these cards graded relaltive to other Score examples? I am just trying to get a little smarter about this, thanks.

    The way the BGS cases are sealed you should be able to see some visible stress/discoloration of the case if it was tampered with.
    Sadly, cases of tampering/card swaping have, and will continue to happen by some "#$%^&#@^" ;)
