Paul,

Without opening this can of worms again, I have no problem with erasing marks and or removing glue from cards. I don’t view this as altering the card, however I do feel it should be disclosed and should lower the overall value of the item. Grading companies also agree with me hence the MK qualifier and or lowered grade.

But you me and the lamppost know that if it cant be detected most people aren’t going to be honest about it. Simply because it does lower the value in most peoples mind, if it didn’t people would boast or be very proud of the restoration work.

Also for the record SGC does not endorse it, they simply stated if done correctly it’s almost impossible to detect.
