Default Soaking a card?

Posted By: Peter_Spaeth

Suppose I took an identical card, graded for the sake of example 7 by any one of the major grading companies. I auction it on four different occasions. Hypo 1, I just give the grade and a scan. Hypo 2, I give the grade, a scan, and a glowing description. Hypo 3, I give the grade, the scan, the description, but add that I removed scrapbook material before submitting but it is now undetectable, as shown by the grade. Hypo 4, same as 3 except I add that I soaked and pressed out a small wrinkle before submitting but it is now undetectable, as shown by the grade. I would bet that especially if it was a desirable card, the prices in all four scenarios would not differ significantly.
