Default About soaking cards

Posted By: T206Collector

All apologies to those that would vomit over this, but I really do love this card:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Before I sent it off to SGC, it had a thin layer of paper covering 3/4 of the back. I got it for a song. When I dipped it in water, the paper practically removed itself and there was no glue residue. I dried it between the pages of a very big book and then sent it off to SGC. I don't think this is an impermissible alteration at all.

But, of course, adding color and paper restoration are HUGE bads. I think everyone agrees with that. Where do I draw the line -- where does PSA/SGC draw the line? As Brian said, at alterations that do something other than returning the card to its original state.
