Bruce MorelandI don't care what people collect. Like I said, I'm concerned that increasing the demand for altered material will increase the supply.
If people are encouraged to alter cards, this will increase the amount of altered material that is out there, and some of this will end up being sold as un-altered.
If a card is declared to be "mint but trimmed" by a good grader, how likely do you think it is that this card is going to get crossed over into a PRO-9 slab, or sold raw as mint?
There is no need to legitimize the stuff.
