I know this has been covered several times in the past, but I would like to compile a board survey on the subject of repairs, stain/foreign object removal, etc... and what practices are considered OK. If you wish to answer, but wish to remain behind the curtain, feel free to email your answers to me and I will add them to the statistics at the end. The answers will be YES or NO. I will post the results Sunday evening.

1. Have you removed a crease or wrinkle?

2. Have you soaked a card to remove a foreign object?

3. Have you removed stains?

4. Have you cleaned up fuzzy corners?

5. Do you clean surfaces front or reverse?

6. Do you clean up fuzzy edges?

7. Have you erased a pencil mark?

8. Have you removed or attemted to remove an ink mark?

9. Have you ever trimmed a card?

10. Have you ever added color to a card?

11. Would you buy a card in a holder if you knew it had work done to it?

12. Have you ever bought a card that was previously rejected, to re-submit it?

13. What percentage of your collection do you feel has had work of any kind done? Any slight "YES" to the above questions quilify. A graded and raw split would be interesting to see.
If there is any other questions you would like to have added, please email me and I will add them in. All answers received via email will be kept confidential.
