Hence, you'll never see a "scratched 10" as you can't remove the black without marking the surface a bit.

I've always thought this illogical as it is altering the card as issued. No different than tearing a Magic/Bird rookie in three pieces as that was the designed product. I personally would not consider it better than a 6-7 even with the rest of the card in perfect condition.
Is this ideal in the situation of sets such as Topps Who-am-I? Not for display for many, but if I enjoy an altered card from factory, I should be happy with a 7.
Personal opinion.
