leonI think you are lumping soaking to take out creases or wrinkles with soaking to remove paper remnants or glue. One is considered taboo by almost everyone on this board and the other isn't, by the majority. This card had a big blotch of paper on the back of it. It covered maybe half of a dime size in the lettering.... Would it make a difference if you were buying this from me, as to what you would pay for it, if I told you I got a piece of paper off of the back, with some water? Would you pay less if you knew it up front? You can still see a little residue on the back even after the bath.... (it's not for sale and is the 3rd Weaver I have from the Trucker Boy find)....best regards
Also, I know some of the graders at SGC. Their stance is sort of common sense...if they can't detect something they can't ding the grade for it...and I am not saying it's ok to do anything other than what we have been debating or it's ok as long as they can't tell...anything other than what I stated in the poll I started and I would feel it's altering..
