You see the same scenario in comic book collecting.
Has a microscopically thin sliver been taken off an edge to sharpen an tiny abrasion? One expert says maybe, another says "can't tell." Some collectors make the decision to not lose sleep over something that is so minute that 999 out of 1,000 people would never know the difference anyway. As much as I love autograph collecting, it is riskier than most hobbies in that a forgery is worth zero. In other hobbies, if something has undisclosed restoration or some sort of alteration, it can be worth far less, but it is still worth something.
