Brian,

I understand your concerns about card alterations, but tend to agree with Leon about differing levels of severity. While I am willing to erase a light pencil mark on a card, I would never try to remove a crease or anything like that.

To me, as Leon mentioned, it's about the cards "integrity". Once a card has been creased, it's integrity has been compromised. The cards fibers have been damaged or broken. Removing pencil markings or something similar to the card's surface, does not damage or break the cards fibers. It would be similar to wiping up water after you've spilled it on a card. If there's no damage to the card, or sign that the water was even there, then it's all academic. Another analogy would be a "dog-eared" corner. If it isn't an actual crease, but simply a bent corner, it shouldn't be a problem to straighten the corner.
