I wouldn't think someone pressing down a corner would be grounds to pull an auction or a PSA grade and cert number. I would be fine with this "alteration" if I were bidding on the card.

It's not fine according to PSA's own standards.

PSA will not grade cards that bear evidence of trimming, re-coloring, restoration, or any other forms of tampering, or are of questionable authenticity.

Look at the before and after photos. The card has been "tampered" with there is zero question assuming it's the same card.

Is pressing down a corner that was a little dinged tampering? I don't know the answer but this doesn't strike me as something that would qualify.

Did you see the before and after photos? And yes, if it's dinged, it qualifies.

PWCC responded at the end of Page 5 in that thread claiming that this card shows conservation, not alteration. Bold move, Cotton.

That's disgraceful, in my opinion.

Ah here you go, Jesse. I was looking for this before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

N-5 Altered Stock - This includes, but is not limited to characteristics on the card that appear to show some form of alteration such as paper restoration, crease/wrinkle pressing or enhanced gloss.
