I personally don't care and don't ask every time I buy a card, if it has been soaked. I can't actually
ever remember asking if a card I was buying had been soaked. I just don't care. I have probably soaked 2-3 cards in my life and only to get some residue or paper off of them. I have erased a few marks from cards too. If folks ask, I will tell, but about 95% of the cards I sell are graded anyway. And of course, I abhor any alterations other than what I have stated. I do draw a line
.
I should add this view is for my personal collecting and personal selling. In our auctions we do nothing at all, ever, except for sending a card to get graded.
