So many of the 1950s baseball and football card sets have a "scratch this box to see the answer" field. Do you prefer to have the answer/image visible after being scratched 60 years ago or do you prefer it clean/unscratched?

I think if I was collecting these sets raw, I would prefer to see the answers, but if I was collecting a registry set, I'd prefer clean/unscratched.

I like to have one of each, but I'm a bit of a completionist.

Unscratched for me...

Doesnt matter to me, I have some of each.

I think it's pretty cool that there are cards unscratched from that long ago....not sure how kids resisted the urge to scratch them lol.
