Scott,

You can ridicule us all you like but it does not change the fact that you are altering the card.

We have seen the uproar that has occurred when you and the rest of the dealers make the rules. Most dealers are taking out light creases, soaking cards--many are microtrimming cards and reshaping/rebuilding them in various ways. I would represent the hobby is shocked.

And you have a major grading company president calling card alteration an epidemic and that microtrimming and reshaping cards are exploding as a percentage of submissions.

Yet all is okay in your world as a dealer.

I am sure you are one of the honest guys as I do not know you well but I am appalled over the lack of dealer ethics and the willingness of their buddies who are collectors to look the other way!
