Ed"High-tech doctoring" is someone else's words on a recent thread. Is it a waste of money to pursue pristine examples, if the major grading companies accept "restored" cards? At what point does restoration become alteration? I see this as a serious threat to the hobby. In my mind, baseball card "restoration" obviously threatens condition rarity and pop reports, which I see as a major motivational component of our hobby. Will the grading companies wake up to this and find ways to spot restoration/alteration?
Tantamount to the peddling of fakes - just my opinion.
Kin to the steroids issue.
