Gilbert MainesIt seems to me that the lines which were once drawn in the sand are shifting. At one time, not so long ago, the consensus on this forum appeared to be that card enhancememt was generally frowned upon. Currently, however, the feeling appears to be that if a card achieves a grade of "Authentic", that card has merit as a collectable.
Although I agree that authentic cards have merit as collectables, there are those who believe that unauthentic cards also have merit as collectables.
I wonder if in another year we will be discussing the comparitive values of reprints vs. picture cutouts, vs. display cutouts, vs .....
Afterall, a recent thread touted the appearance of an authentic card as desireable over a low graded, unaltered alternate option for a t227.
What is your thinking on this?
