leonI have disclosed erasing a pencil mark before, on a very high end card, and the buyer didn't care. It was in an SGC 80 holder and I had popped it out of a PSA 6 MK holder....The erasing worked perfectly. Most times I will not disclose erasing of a mark. I doubt the cards I have in my possession are pure either and I don't care too much....Now, if there is an indention left after the erasing I will always disclose it...as it affects the value and the look. As for taking a crease or wrinkle out, imo, it's a wholly different situation. Creases, many times, will affect the integrity of the card. Even if a crease is taken out there will be the rigidity question left...AND heavy creases, to my understanding, are very difficult to get out without leaving traces of what has been done. To me these issues aren't a slippery slope. They are different. There are differences in the magnitude of "alteration" just like any thing else such as magnitudes of a crime or food you like or .........
