Serious question for you though... Do you even own a single vintage card?

It would be interesting to be able to see the grader notes on this card. The images clearly show a stain on the top right in the before and there does not appear to be a stain on the after photo. Please note that the after photo was adjust by you to match the settings of the before and posted in a previous thread. Where did the stain go?? Either the stain never existed or it magically disappeared. If we had the graders notes, then we would have written evidence to support the visual evidence.

I�m surprised that PSA and others will use photo matching to authenticate items since, as you claim, photo matching is �reflective of some sort of imaginary work.� I�m also curious as to why PSA would develop photo matching technology, like Genamint, to help track and detect altered cards. It was also interesting that PSA deactivated Kurt�s Card Care submission after being presented with before and after photos.

It seems evident to me that using before and after images is a valid and reliable way to detect and determine if an alteration has been made on a card.

Yes, I own vintage cards.

I�m not here to argue or upset you. Therefore, this will be my only response to you on this thread. Take care.

Every opportunity you can get to post your bullshit in any thread you think PSA will read LOL. Never give up on your dreams! One day, they will care about you.

Perhaps worth noting (you clearly seem to have overlooked it) is the fact that despite PSA making an effort to clarify their "no grade/alterations" definitions, at no point anywhere in those definitions will you find anything at all about a card being soaked in water as being "altered". Why do you think that is? Oh, ya, BECAUSE IT'S A COMPLETELY STANDARD PRACTICE IN THIS HOBBY AND HAS BEEN FOR 100 YEARS. THEY ALLOW IT. Keep crying about it though.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Try to remain calm.

If it's only water that is the cleaning solution, then, no the card shouldn't be graded only as AUT, assuming no other issues. Everyone knows that has been allowed forever. (by most hobbyists)
