I'm with David, I would like to see what the surface of the card looks like after this process is done. I would have great reservations about doing this to a card. I would think the card stock would feel different after being soaked and then dried. It's hard to believe the card would keep any gloss on the front surface and would still lie completely flat but I guess anything is possible.

As MW noted about the selling prices of altered cards - the same holds true for Comics. Restored books still have value but most collectors will pay more for a un-restored book in lesser condition.

I don't have a problem with trimmed cards. I have a problem with sellers who don't tell buyers that they have been trimmed. Lots of trimmed cards on the tables at SportsFest (my opinion).
