Bottom of the Ninthbut you are making too much sense. There have been countless threads where members openly discuss the removal and restoration processes they use (or referred to card doctoring and altering when it concerns me). Some of those threads existed right before two of the 100+ threads about me. In those threads, dialogue flows openly and nobody is attacked and insulted. In fact processes are shared.
There is also a member of the forum who bought a very high profile card that had resided in a lower graded holder prior to his owning it only to find it get "bumped" 3 grades after being in his possession, dramatically increasing it's value.
You are right and a point I tried to make in one of the Greg threads, that anyone who restores, repairs, removes, alters, doctors, etc. a card has no control over what happens to it after is out of their possession. To one of the more arrogant and absurd members of this board who openly restores his cards, I asked him to speak on what happens after he dies, (which for all of us is the inevitable event in which title will transfer) since he resides in Calif and has performed all of the restoration in Calif, and his reply was this: As far as what happens to my cards when I die, hopefully that won't even be an issue for another 40-50 years. I'll leave it to my heirs to deal with that situation. I think this pretty much sums it up for those who practice the hypocrisy.
Thanks,
Greg
