Seriously WTF is this? Card doctors are acceptable now?
So technically - yeah, but this is nothing new. I think YouTube videos on how to clean / remove fingerprints, etc. from shiny new modern cards have been around since before the first of the PWCC revelations. I don't know, I don't collect modern, so find it pretty hard to get fired-up about more card doctoring suspicions there when we have more than enough to go around here each week with vintage cards.

All niches have been affected it seems.

There are modern card collectors that buff out scratches from chrome cards using Meguiar's car wax. This guy is probably just using a microfiber eyeglass cloth to remove fingerprints, which can improve a grade like 1.5 points from an 8.5 to a 10.

I don't have a problem with taking something off of a card (not the borders
 ) as long as a solvent isn't used, other than water. That is a big spread for taking fingerprints off. Quote:

I guess altering cards to improve grades is a legit business model. I am just mind blown this is allowed and just blatantly aired out like it’s no big deal.

Is it ironic this thread is right above a thread asking which cards can and can't be soaked???
