Altered cards...just an opinion

Your example is interesting though. Suppose one TPG rejects my card as altered and the second one slabs it. When I sell it should I disclose the initial rejection?

I have a couple cards that I got graded and came back altered. Something about that word on the slab really annoys me.

Unfortunately one of the cards was bought by a member here without disclosing his knowledge of it being altered. Of course it's perfectly acceptable to believe that he may not have known. I obviously didn't and still really can't tell how it is only PSA knows!

If people would like I can find the card and post a pic later when I get home seeing as it goes with the subject of the thread.

I don't know I don't mind altered cards as long as you know they are altered. I have one that the seller didn't know if it was altered or not. I assumed it was so I also paid an "altered" card price versus what it would cost if not. I just liked the eye appeal and for what its worth it does measure correct.

But this is just my opinion though.

Right on, Brad! That's a beautiful card

Thanks! I don't know if it is altered or not but it makes no difference to me, just love the card.
