Jim,

As a general rule, and not singling out any auctionhouse in particular, do you think the following practices are positive or negative for the hobby?

--cleaning card--such as taking glue off
--taking out creases
--erasing pencil marks
--pressing cards
--trimming
--bleaching/recoloring
--using restoration services on cards such as Paul Messier or Graphic Restoration

Since you were the one who posed these questions, I am just interested in whether you have an opinion on which practices you find acceptable. Or perhaps you do not care and the whole discussion is just an informational or academic exercise.

Thanks,
Wesley
