No doubt some folks will think soaking and/or erasing are alterations. They are. But they are altering it back to being closer to it's original state, so in that aspect, I am actually altering them back to be closer to when they were originally distributed. I should reiterate I very seldom do anything at all....I just collect cards and I am not a high grade collector, so well loved cards are fine by me....I think vg is my favorite condition and I don't mind pr-fr cards that have better eye appeal . best regards
