One of the first vintage cards I bought was a T205 Matty with a chunk of paper missing from his nose. It only made sense to me to color it in - it was my card and I wanted it to look nicer. If I had given it any thought, I would have figured I increased the value by my actions. Now I know better and I simply would never buy a card that needed altering in order to look presentable.
