Default What Do You Consider Card Doctoring?

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

How can you draw a line between soaking a card and removing glue/paper vs pressing a crease out or laying a corner down.

Isn't it safe to say that many many cards are soaked and then sold for a profit.  Same as pressing a crease or laying a corner down. If it's ok to say that the glue was not on the card originally isn't it also safe to say neither was the crease or the bent corner.

I get the idea of removing or adding to a card like trimming and rebuilding corners as a no no, I just don't grasp the stigma assoicated with pressing a corner down or pressing a surface crease out.  I suppose if your doing this solely for profit and not disclosing your 'alteration' in the sale, that would be a bit weasily.  But if your disclosing the work done, what's the big deal.
