I understand what you are saying, that there could be instances where conservation is a good thing, not because it improves appearance but because it preserves the card. Fine. I doubt that's why the DiMaggio was worked, but either way, my point remains that the work and any resulting change in grade should be disclosed so the buyer can make a decision based on all the facts. When a seller doesn't disclose it, the obvious intent is to deceive, in my opinion.
