One Final Informal Poll on Taking Out Creases
Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>I believe it is okay to remove scrap and glue from the back of a card using water, drying and pressing.<br /><br />I also believe that this may reduce the impact of a crease on a card.<br /><br />I do not think it is wrong to do 1 when the result may also be 2.<br /><br />I generally think the intentional removal of a crease raises an eyebrow, but I have a hard time distinguishing that from other "permissible" forms of alteration that I agree with, including the above-mentioned soaking, and pencil erasures. <br /><br />I'm going to have to give this some more thought and keep reading the opinions of the Board members.

Posted By: <b>Griffin's</b><p>No.<br /><br />I wonder if the reason some cards that are cited as overgraded is from creases that were taken out and then reappeared over time, in the slab.

One Final Informal Poll on Taking Out Creases
Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I'm against removing wrinkes, but won't say it's never okay. <br /><br />I'm against trimming and other alteration to get a higher grade, but I find it interesting that most Pre-War collectors have an aesthetic view based on what a Pre-War card looks like in 1999 not 1909. The T206 with stains and worn corners and a crease is not the way it orignally looked. It originally looked closer to a PSA9 or well restored card. This aesthetic bias is probably because none of us collected the cards when they were new, and only ever remember them being the proverbial 1999 versions. I'm certain that our athestic views, including whether a worn stained card should be restored to new look, would be different if we collected T206s in 1909.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Gil,<br />Libertarian politics aside, do you prefer other people not remove creases or are you truly ambivalent?<br />JimB
|
One Final Informal Poll on Taking Out Creases
Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Ambivalent? No, I prefer girls. Prefer heck, I insist on 'em. Exclusively.<br /><br />But do I prefer to have creases removed from cards? When I can not detect their removal, I guess. No, I don't.<br /><br />Why would anyone prefer cards which have had creases removed? <br /><br />Maybe if they were cheaper. But why would that be, if you couldn't tell?<br /><br />But none of this is what you asked. Sorry Jim, I do tend to ramble sometimes.<br /><br />"do you prefer other people not remove creases" <br /><br />Is what you asked.<br /><br />Jim if I could prohibit doctoring under any circumstances, I would. But I can not change reality. Where there is motivation to cheat, there will be cheaters. So, you either develop a rational for acceptance or man the guns to fight it. I can not win this fight, and I can tolerate cheating. So the rational I have come to accept is that if it is good enuff to pass the slabbers muster, I sure ain't likely to notice it. (And being an anti-slab guy I hate to admit that) I only buy high priced cards from persons whose opinion I respect as much as the graders, or I buy slabbed cards, then crack them out.<br /><br />Now I recognize that there are restorers out here who can doctor very well. Generally I am not in the market that this level of skill would be brought to bear on a card, but when I am - I sincerely believe that if a correction is undetectable, it does not exist.

Posted By: <b>Peter_Spaeth</b><p> "I sincerely believe that if a correction is undetectable, it does not exist."<br /><br />By that logic if an athlete takes steroids but also takes a masking agent that prevents its detection, does that mean the athlete did not take steroids? Or, to put it another way, it's ok to be deceptive as long as you can't get caught? I understand the practicalities of this approach, it enables us to buy cards and not worry, but I don't think it answers Jim's question which concerned whether it was right or wrong.<br />

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>no. never.<br /><br />someone else brought this up in another thread, but to respond to "I sincerely believe that if a correction is undetectable, it does not exist."<br />so, by that thinking....if you commit a crime and don't get caught, then you haven't committed a crime?<br /><br />
