In my opinion, this card was rescued. In the image on the left, it was clearly altered. On the right, it was restored back to its original state.

Since it's not perfectly centered (top to bottom), you probably wouldn't want it Travis. As long as you don't try to bring that top to bottom centering to 50/50, all is good.
Come on, that was somewhat funny, right.
This is an interesting thread regarding opinions/perceptions of "altering" or "enhancements". Shows some real passion on the collectors that are far right and far left. Ok, let's not start trying to figure out which is "far right".
It'd be interesting to run a poll that allowed for more than a single selection. The poll could keep a tally of all participants and a list of items considered "card doctoring". Now, for the soaking part, the poll should include soaking with only water or soaking with more than water. What would those polling items be? Trimming
, adding color, adding material for fixing holes/corners, crease removal, what else?
