Upon further reflection, I am curious as to why this particular form of, "card doctoring" is OK with some who would cry, "foul" under other circumstances. In the grand scheme of things, it seems about the same as taking an eraser to a pencil mark or ironing out the crease in a silk.
Just curious...although I imagine a Net54 beat-down is coming my way for suggesting that soaking a card is unethical.
Best regards,

No idea why but it is a double standard. Personally, I don't have a problem with altered cards as long as they are sold as such.
