JK"It is very simple. It is the difference between right and wrong."
"It is just horrible to do this"
"But I do think its horrible and I do believe that those who soak cards are card doctors."
All I can say is wow - how very arrogant. I love all the purist who try to make those of us who believe that erasing pencil or soaking a card is not doctoring, feel morally bankrupt. Particularly when I can almost guarantee that if they accidentally and hypothetically spilled something on one of their precious unaltered cards (or to use an example that another member has used in the past, a piece of snot landed on it) they would immediately wipe the card clean.
For what its worth, I agree with what I believe to be the majority view (implicitly accepted by the grading companies) that soaking is not doctoring or altering (as long as its not accompanied by stretching/trimming).
Soaked and proud to have it in my collection:
