Dean HI always felt what distinguished our hobby from others is the fact that we shunned any type of alterations or enhancements. Now we are comparing cards to cars and paintings. I dont agree with the sentiment of "If they do it to cars, paintings, or whatever, then its ok for us to do it to cards". Also, I consider anything to be an alteration when it changes the "current" state of a card and not just trying to return it to its original factory look. So I personally look at soaking as an alteration.
