As other have said, there are many definitions of alterations in the hobby. Here are a few that I can think of:
Soaking a card glued onto something else like a scrapbook: Acceptable Soaking and pressing a card to remove wrinkles: Not Acceptable Trimming a hand cut card such as a strip card: Acceptable Trimming an oversized factory cut card: Not Acceptable Erasing a pencil mark from a card using a standard eraser: Maybe? Erasing a pen/ink mark from a card using chemicals: Not Acceptable Adding color to a card: Not Acceptable Rebuilding corners: Not Acceptable Re-backing a skinned card: Not Acceptable Glchen, You forgot a common one.......Wiping off an wax/gum stain. |
