I'm one of what now appears to be a declining number of people who thinks that anything done to a card is altering and I believe the value should be lower because of it. The argument of it shouldn't matter if you can't see it holds no water with me.
As has been said here already, if the people erasing marks and spooning out creases truly believe that both are o.k. practices then go ahead and fully disclose such in your auctions. Will you? Of course you won't, because you know that the cards will sell for less. By not disclosing your practices you are deceiving people. It's wanton deception and lets not try to call it anything other than what it really is.
