Default What Do You Consider Card Doctoring?

Posted By: Kevin Saucier

I'm sure the doctors are just on a coffee break.


Sorry I was out to lunch and was patiently waiting for Doug to go first.

As all know I am a card doctor but in this instance I don't think I qualify. What cards that have been doctored and slabbed are not for sale and have all been clearly labeled (disclosed) with the type of alteration done.

"My opinion" on what is considered doctoring depends on the circumstance. For inspecting purposes, if has been determined a card has been soaked, I would call it out. For collecting I feel water soaking, to clean of remove paper, is acceptable. Pressing corners in an attempt to deceive and anything past that is doctoring.

Is having the belief that top-quality rebacking should be considered an art form a bad thing?
