To Clean or not to Clean

[BeanTown]

I know this is, or has been industry standards for awhile now. However, some cards could really benefit from being cleaned up. It's refreshing to see the path of this high end card with the short history of two auctions.

Heritage sold it as a SGC 30 back in May 2016 for 5975.00

Then it we to the cleaners and then got submitted to PSA for grading.

PWCC sold it as a PSA 2 back in November 2016 for 5677.88.

Looks like good honest bidding in both auctions and a fair market price both times. It's a lot more difficult to be a flipper on rare cards with low population numbers than more main stream cards (52 Mantle, 55 Clemente, 63 Rose, etc...).

So, I guess what I'm saying is that some cards would greatly benefit from being cleaned (with water). The only bigthing that affects the card would be how skewed the population report is.
