JohnLeon,
I’m fine with anyone who disagrees. That’s kind of the whole point of a discussion forum right?
As for pencil erase, that’s the least offensive of the above. But Leon I’ll ask you the same question. If soaking is so accepted why do major auction houses sell creased cards, why not soak them and sell them for higher profits??? In fact why wouldn’t dealers offer to soak the card for a fee and pretty it up before sending it out?
Should I be starting my own soaking company sort of like PSA? Send them in and have creases/wrinkles removed along with stains and glue for a fee per card?
It just seems to me like everyone is saying, “if I can’t tell it’s ok” Yet these are the same people who air out every ebay scammer auction, talk for 200+ post about two homeboys with a reprint. Make constant accusations about the PSA 8 Wagner and Harris collection cards being altered. Yet when done typing these same people go and alter and or improve their cards using various methods. These same cards which they will ultimately sell for a raise in profit from that which it was.
It’s like taking a hundred dollars out of the cash drawer and damming the Enron executives to hell at the same time.
If I’m the only guy who sees hypocrisy in that here, then I’m fine being in the minority.
Regards,
John
