JimCrandellFirst, I don't think I misrepresented Brian's response. Maybe I wasn't warm and fuzzy but I thought I captured the essence of what he said.
I like Brian--I have known him a long time and have bought cards from him. I believe he is one of the hobby good guys.
Still, I think dealers underestimate the level of anxiety among collectors.
From everything I am hearing, it doesn't seem like there is anything to be done about light crease removal other than to get dealers word they will not do it. The key and Leon pointed this out is the microtrimming/reshaping that is going on and is it getting by the graders.
BcD,
Why don't I ask them if they have tampered with vintage cards? They don't respond now--imagine if I asked them that.
