This is what I mean by a slippery slope and no, I don't want to progress from mouse poop to bird poop just to make the analogy more solid.

I had the bird poop thing actually happen. Can't remember the exact card but it was a silly rare Bill Ripken that I sold for several hundred dollars. When I was going to take a picture to send to the buyer I was close to one of my parrots cages and the card did get some bird poop on it. I snapped a quick picture and then cleaned the bird poop off and took a few more pictures. I disclosed the bird poop and the cleaning of the bird poop. Buyer didn't care as long as he got a bird poop free card.
