Most of those guys are really running a small business. They just tell themselves and others it is a hobby to avoid paying taxes and running a legit business.
It is great the OP is getting some compensation for the altered card.
I love what Tiffany Cards and others do but I honestly can't imagine even 1/10 of 1% of collectors even know it exists. I don't know many PSA flip collectors but know many that collect PSA graded cards. I asked a few and nobody even checks the certs on PSAs website. I know I never have on a single PSA card I have purchased. Many people collect for fun and avoid all the BS to keep it fun for them. For some the BS is the fun part.
