I agree, I've never asked but I would like to know. Among the litany of things that are done to cards, I think that soaking in "water" and using a gum eraser to remove a stray pencil mark are minor issues. I do think that it could be argued that you are changing the card from its current state and some folks might call that an alteration. That's all I am saying.
