I agree with you about the pencil mark. Also, if some gunk were removed from the back, it wouldn't really bother me all that much. But bleach, or other foreign substances added to a card in order to make it look better is cause for concern. At least that's my opinion.
I think a big problem with this whole "alteration" issue is the lack of standards and guidelines for what constitutes an alteration, what is acceptable, and what isn't. Everyone has their own opinion.
