Altering cards is bad but altering artwork is ok?
The thread Leon started about alterations reminded me of a question I've often wondered about.
As we all agree, altering cards is a huge hobby no no. Cleaning, adding to, coloring, building up corners, you name it, it's considered altering the card. But in the high end art world, cleaning, touching up or even repairing is ok. So if I bought a 53 Mantle and fixed it up to look new, it's now considered worthless. But if I bought the painting used to make that same card, had it cleaned and fixed up, it would probably be worth more. Can anyone explain why that is?
