PASJDOK I just wanted to make sure we weren't getting into a Clintonesque semantic quibble (depends on what the meaning of "is" is) about the meaning of "altered"; the juxtaposition of your statement that you had not sold an "altered" card and the link to your previous posting suggesting (my interpretation anyhow) that you viewed crease removal as different from other forms of restoration is what led me to ask the questions. As you pointed out in your earlier comment about "right to life," the words one uses to frame an issue often dictate the result. (On that particular one I would suggest to you that a "woman's right to choose" is equally misleading, but that is not for this forum I guess.) Personally I would view crease removal in the same category as trimming and corner restoration, particularly because as a practical matter the crease might come back (I have seen it happen to a PSA 8 card); I am not quite sure how I feel about some other "improvements."
