hi. i recently got back into collecting after a 15 year hiatus and am focusing exclusively on t206s. several times i have seen cards for sale with writing/marks in pencil, on the back. if i bought these and erased them, would that decrease the value more? my interest is primarily in assembling a set of decent looking cards- not an investment- so if the value goes down a bit because i erased some pencil, i am not too concerned, but if the value is, say $50 for a particular card, and $30 with the pencil and $10 if i erase the pencil, then i likely wouldn't bother erasing.

any thoughts?
