Leads to another question...if this method was used on a card, would a collector downgrade the card as being altered or “marked?”
I would not want any substance added to my vintage cards.

Blowout seems to do a pretty good job identifying cards by natural fiber patterns on the back of cards, sort of like facial recognition techniques. So I don't think anything would need to be added in a lot of cases.
