|  Altering vs cleaning 
			
			This has probably  been discussed a few times already.... At what point is "cleaning" a card not considered "altering" a card. For example, would it be considered altering a card if you can use water and a towel to clean off obvious smudges of dirt or other surface crud? At what point do you consider "cleaning" to be unacceptable? Obviously, filling/adding in color (for example the back of an N300) is not acceptable. Filling a hole or adding paper is not acceptable. "Bleaching" is not acceptable, or at least I don't think it is. Any comments?
