Default What's your opinion on owning altered cards?

Hey all,

I'm a 52 topps collector. I collect raw cards, and it is my goal to one day have a Mantle card. The best I could hope for would be a card in poor or fair condition, but I still hope to obtain one with a fair amount of eye appeal. One possibility I hadn't considered though was buying an altered card. Since it would be for my personal collection and my own enjoyment, I figure I could live with this compromise, as opposed to if I were an investor.

What about the rest of you? Do any of you collect altered examples of cards you might otherwise not be able to afford?
