Is it ethical to alter cards and sell them without disclosure?

Unless the AH is grading it themselves, how would they know it was rejected?

If they were grading it, I can't imagine they would still have it in their auction. But who knows these days.

This German transfer from 1923 somehow avoided being licked by a young tongue who had not the access to a source of running water.

Thank you, Brian. I think you should definitely disclose which cards you've licked before you sell them.
