Since you and I are on opposite sides of this issue, I understand why my posts will always be read by you with some measure of skepticism or even disdain. But, I assure you, I thought your last post was quite politic -- I am comfortable living in our separate worlds and respecting the choices of the others.
I draw my lines where PSA and SGC draw their lines. In other posts I have taken issue with grading companies that set certain standards (i.e., no grading trimming cards) and then violate those standards. I also think that people that want to set different standards -- i.e., that soaking is an impermissible alteration -- should start by lobbying the grading services, which permit erasures and soaking even when they are obvious.
Sincerely,
Paul
