It is relevant. Why are card guys upset at a bit of corner damage? What do they want? They want the cards to be
exactly as they were when they left the factory--any deviation from that lowers the value in their world.
Well, I want a Gehrig autographed item, for example, to be exactly as it was when it left Gehrig's hand.
Just as you're not allowed to trim a card to produce perfect corners--making it (superficially) look "better," so, too, should you not be allowed to remove part of an autograph.
