there should be no distinction between power erasing, erasing and bleaching. is bleaching acceptable, that has the same effect as erasing. all methods alter the card from the present condition to visually enhance the card and increase the value. this is one of the purposes that sgc serves, to detect alterations. they can not selectively apply grading criteria and still remain legit. if they want to accept cards that are erased, bleach alterterd trimmed that is fine but then all such cards should be treated the same. sgc as an objective third party can not say it is okay to ignore alterations in one case and not in another.
