I think that removing gum/wax/tobacco stains is altering a card. I just got slammed by PSA on a bunch of cards that had such stains on it. They were all given qualifiers. If the stain would have been removed, the cards would have come back sans qualifier. That, in my opinion, is altering. If not, what is it?

I also do think that it is relevant whether you sell the card or not. If you never do sell it, do with it as you please. If you do plan on selling it, I think you should always disclose that it was altered. I think it almost rises to the level of misrepresentation.

If you bought a car from someone who had done a good job restoring it after it being in a collision and did not disclose it was in a collision, would you be happy with the transaction?
