This is the back of a Rose Company post card I own. That is double sided tape used to affix the post card to an album; there is paper from the album stuck to the outward side of the tape. I see no reason why I should not be able to remove the tape; that is, I don�t think removing the tape should be considered an alteration. However, I will not remove it bc it�s a rare card and if I tried to slab it after removal, the card may come back an A (it has a numerical grade)

I don�t have an issue with the removal of foreign objects, including cleaning a card, and flipping a corner back is not only acceptable to me, it so obviously fundamental that I don�t know how there is debate on that. Spooning, pressing, or steaming out a crease is, to me, an alteration, although it�s really only one step away from flipping a corner�.
