<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Small Size, post: 2644702, member: 77924&quot;]Paper money collectors are fooling themselves if they think there aren&#039;t means to alter the condition of a note that are almost undetectable.</p><p>Because notes usually have unique series and serial numbers, it is possible to document a note as it transits from a seller at one grade, to another seller who offers it at a <i>TPG slabbed</i> higher grade. I&#039;ve seen it for myself - a nice, clean but crumpled note sold at its actual grade, and later sold at auction with the crumples gone, and certified as being a much higher grade. At four times the original seller&#039;s price.</p><p>Want not to be screwed that way? Cultivate a relationship with a dealer who&#039;s proven his probity. They&#039;re out there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
