PASJDWhat does that mean? An auction house to whom a card is consigned has discretion to alter/restore/"clean" a card? Or did they advise the consignor they were capable of doing such things in order to fetch a higher price and the consignor consented? Or did the consignor ask them whether anything could be done to improve the card? Those before and after photos are VERY disturbing, particularly where the description in the catalog does not appear to reference the cleaning. Am I missing something here? Has anyone asked Mr. Mastro about his convenient omission?
