Default Errant Writing on Vintage Baseball Cards.....

Not wanting to hijack the very good thread about the Star BBC CDV, but related to some comments, I want to approach the subject of erasing writing on our cards. My personal thought is that it is ok to take off whatever wasn't on the card originally, if done so in a very organic manner ie.. water and Q tip. However there are many times I am a strong proponent of leaving them. This E136 Zeenut of Weaver came from a long ago, and quite well known PCL collector's collection. His first name "Alfred" is written on many of our old PCL cards. He must have had a heck of a collection. This card was recently sold from my collection and was raw (I believe) until it was sold. But to me the writing enhances this card and was left on it....Thoughts?
