In the violin world, an old instrument with a crack needs to be repaired. With a high quality repair, the value is retained. Revarnishing, however, detracts from the value.
In the art world, cleaning, flattening, even re-weaving are par of a curator's aegis. It seems arbitrary to me, and just a bit peculiar, that in the card world there is such an insistence on the perpetuation of earlier damage, especially when methods exist that can effectively repair it. I have never soaked a card, but it wouldn't bother me to find out that I own some that have had a bath.
