To many people, cards are a commodity. There is little (if any) nostalgic or personal value assigned to them. Brent understands that, Kendrick understands that and many others understand that.
The article talks about “purists” who believe alteration is a cardinal sin. Others look at alterations as an investment - improving the quality of an asset.
The purists will never understand that rationale and the people who have no nostalgic attachment to baseball cards will never understand why it’s an issue.
