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….

If you can remove it mechanically I would think you should be OK, if you start using chemicals that may have an unknown future impact on the stock I would be against that.

Send it in to SGC and have them do it for you. Not really kidding though.
