My sentiments exactly. What is the differnece between removing "undesirable" signatures from a ball and rebuilding the corners and removing the creases from a card? Both have been altered to make the item more desirable and valuable in the marketplace. While we are at it, let's remove all but the smile from the Mona Lisa since that is what everyone finds so intriguing about the painting.

I do have a serious problem with the fact the item has changed from it's original historical context. Much akin to chopping up a jersey or other piece of memorabilia.
