Given the minimal impact of the scandal, I am sure you're right, but it's astonishing to me that people are fine with a card looking nice because someone has altered it from its original state. That means essentially the skill of the card doctor is more important than how well the card has withstood time. To me it's sacrilege.

And yes I understand the whole thing about what difference does it make since you often can't tell anyhow blah blah lol.
