Altered... as in soaked, or pencil marks have been erased off of the back? Bring them on, stack them up, I'm good with those. Trimming annoys me, I don't want those, generally. And really don't like it when ink or color has been added to conceal a blemish.
In general, I'm in agreement with what the OP and the DDS said.
To some extent doesn't slabbing a card alter it; while it's in there you can't really touch it or hold it. Golly, what if a guy gave a girl an engagement ring, but because of great 4 C rating from the GIA the ring has to stay in a safety deposit box? That would be just a few steps removed from slabbing a diamond ring.
