Color me a simple-minded purist I guess but, monetary values aside, this just makes me sad. Take for instance the T206 Lundgren that was at the top of one of the exposed lists. It was "improved" from a PSA 2.5 to a PSA 6. That was a nice looking 100 + year old card I would have been proud to own just as it was. I would have been happy to have cracked it out and placed it in my binder. Now, it has been tainted, altered, whatever you want to call it. Its value as a pure historical artifact has been ruined IMO.
