Default What Do You Consider Card Doctoring?

Posted By: Matt

"I didn't see where Frank said he would take a crease out. He said he would unfold it."

Sorry - that's what I meant; I wasn't aware of the difference between removing a crease and flattening a folded card.

As far as disclosure not being important to you if you can't see it, if the corners on the card were rebuilt, would you still feel the same way? What if someone wanted to keep a card in their personal collection, but didn't like the way it looked and wanted to pay to have the corners rebuilt - would you object? To me, it's theirs to do what they want to; the only objection is when they come to sell it, having the user believe everything is original when it is not; that's why I believe disclosure is really all that matters here.

I tend to agree with you that unfolding a corner where the crease is still visible does not need to be disclosed, but I believe some above would disagree since a card with a corner folded 90 degrees up would sell for less then a card that is totally flat.
