In my opinion, a "Doctored" card is one that has been trimmed, had corners repaired, had color added and creases and wrinkles pressed out.
Removing wax with nylons, removing cardboard/paper (due to being stuck in a scrap book) via soaking in water is not.
Read a gazillion of these backs and forths over the years and it will never be settled, never have an agreeable set of rules/guidelines.
