just altered and altered and altered ad infinitum.
Hi Barry,

Though I agree with this sentiment (and my guess is a lot of other collectors do, too), the grading companies -- whether knowingly or unknowingly -- have a different take. Cards that have been altered and then have the alteration(s) completely removed definitely can receive numerical grades. Again, whether the grading companies assign the number knowing about the previous handiwork that was undone is an interesting question.
