People who soak cards to remove paper, gum, etc. from the card are not trying to defraud the people they are selling it to or creating a situation where someone is defrauded. Often people do disclose that a card was altered when they sell it.
Original card + water = nicer original card ... no fraud
Reprint card + "aging" = unknown reprint card...fraud
BTW, if you know the answer as you state, why ask the question?
