And yes, it's a slippery slope, and there's no perfect definition of what is material alteration and what isn't that will satisfy everyone, I get that. But that doesn't invalidate the overarching point. I can have a valid general principle even if I can't perfectly and consistently apply it in every case. And anyhow, disclosure is the perfect solution, let people decide for themselves if they care.

We know for a fact that a substantial part of the hobby cares - which is exactly why our fraudsters are so hellbent on not disclosing it. These crooks wouldn't make as much money if they were honest about the altering, it is the only motive to cover it up and hide it when selling. But of course, this too must be lied about in order to come up with a narrative that justifies their fraud.
