Maybe they will do as CGC does with different color flips for altered and unaltered? The more transparency the better. Now we just need to define what altered really is. Is it erasing a mark? Is it using water to get a scrap of paper off the back? Is it soaking a card? All are alterations. Maybe what we need is hobby specific definitions we can all go by. And I won't be the one trying to define them, don't worry.
