Opinions on Soaking/Pressing

Josh,

I think that there is a clear distinction between trimming and soaking and or pressing wrinkles.

In my opinion, adding or removing form a card is wrong and deemed out of bounds.

When I was a kid, I put my cards in books to flatten them out or would like my figure to remove gum stain or flatten stray fibers to make the cards look better.

Personally, if someone buys a card and the corner is flipped up and they flattten it down and sell it to me and I cannot tell that something was added or removed I have no problem.
