Jeff,
We are buying cards from Mastro, who brings to us the collector, collections that are not circulated on the open market. Most all of the cards that are raw in these lots are tampered free by card doctors. A HIGH percentage of those that are graded by these auction houses have performed some sort of work to them. (flatened corner, wax wipped off the front, wrinkle pressed out) I am having a hard time believing that this is really that much of an issue for the industry. It has been around for many years even before grading. It is an exceptable practice that will continue for much longer than it has existed.
The question to those that have a problem with this is what hobby are you going to next?
