People who soak cards to remove paper, gum, etc. from the card are not trying to defraud the people they are selling it to or creating a situation where someone is defrauded. Often people do disclose that a card was altered when they sell it.

Original card + water = nicer original card ... no fraud
Reprint card + "aging" = unknown reprint card...fraud

BTW, if you know the answer as you state, why ask the question?

Default Soaking?
Ok. So if you soak the card to enhance the appeal of the card doesn't sanding, re backing, trimming help enhance the card too?

So if soaking's ok then whats wrong with trimming or rebacking as long as the reback is an original card? Don't those enhance the appeal of the card too?

The word card doctors come to mind.

This reminds me of a guy I knew years ago who started selling computer cards for satelite dishes which enabled you to recieve pay channels at no monthly cost. I asked him about the legality of it and he said ,"it's legal for me to sell them,but it's illegal for people to use them".

It doesn't make it a fake but it does alter the appearance of the card

That makes no sense. You can legally own a reprint.

The difference, obvious to everyone except you, is that you are "aging" the cards to deceive, not enhance. Putting lipstick on the pig so to speak!

If you use a little water to get rid of some dirt, you are not deceiving anyone.

If you wish to sell this crap, this is probably the wrong place to do it. I would suggest places like Blowout cards, who's card buying members might not have the same upstanding morals as the members of this site do!

You are not going to find any sympathy or customers here!

Sorry if i am being rude, and i am sure I am not alone in this statement...

IF YOUR ONLY PURPOSE HERE IS TO SELL REPRINTS ..... GO AWAY!! (i apologize in advance Leon)

No one has given me a reason not to believe my argument and as long as you guys keep posting on this thread I'll keep responding.

Card doctors is actually two words, not one.

The poster also needs to learn the difference between there and their, and slander and libel.

So basically you really have nothing of any substance to say about the topic besides grammar issues?

I don't read stupid threads often. But when I do, I prefer to read about artificially aged reprints that will be sold at a later date on eBay to a clueless collector.

Stay thirsty my friends.

RR- I was just reminded of that because,..

If you're selling reprints,that is perfectly legal.

But if your selling reprints that have been "enhanced" to look real,then it's obvious that your target market will be mainly crooks who will try to resell the cards as real,which is Illegal.

I admit it's not a apples to apples comparison,but I said I was reminded of it,not that it was the same.
