Thanks for your quick reply.
I for one would be very upset to buy a card only to find after the fact that it was altered. I bought a SGC40 Bresnahan T3 from a member on this board only to find a few weeks later in looking through an old Madec catalog that it was previously in a PSA A holder and went for $400 less than what I paid. Needless to say, I was quite upset. I for one would not feel comfortable selling the card to another buyer without disclosing this - as a result, the value of my card has gone down tremendously.
I still think its a slippery slope anytime you mess with the integrity of a card. In my opinion, if you are willing to erase pencil marks, you don't have much basis for being upset if someone sold you a trimmed card or card that had creases removed. Who knows, perhaps in the seller's opinion any altering that makes a card more attractive is acceptable.
Anyway, I respect your opinion. I guess we'll agree to disagree.
Take care,
Brian
