Default What Do You Consider Card Doctoring?

Posted By: Cobby33

If you rubbed out a wax or gum stain with whatever lingerie you choose and it gets a higher grade (or no qualifier) than mine (which I did not touch), that's alteration. It's alteration even if it wasn't submitted for grading.

As for unbending a card, I don't know whether that was a facetious statement or not, but using that analogy, I suppose putting a card in a hard sleeve could be considered "alteration," but nobody is talking about that. Apples and oranges.

al·ter·a·tion
–noun 1. the act or process of altering; the state of being altered: Alteration will improve the dress.
2. a change; modification or adjustment
