That's a little tricky; technically, digitally sharpening an image is adding edges to the image that don't actually exist in the image, not exposing things that are hidden in the scan.
Generally speaking most scans nowadays are "doctored" somewhat as by default, most software does some adjusting.
I think the bottom line on this issue is that if the scan is changed to look more like the card actually looks in person then it's kosher; if it's done to make the card look better then it does, then it's problematic.
