[QUOTE="finestcomics, post: 323451, member: 4368"] That's not what's being talked about here. We are talking about people here doing this stuff, and selling it without disclosure. There is no mystery when the person doing it is the same person selling it. There is also no shred of doubt when it's a piece that's limelighted with a sticker, and then you notice it for sale shortly after without a price sticker. As in the case of the Power Droid, there are situations where the before photo is much better than the after. Conversely, there is no excuse when the company grading the piece is performing the "tweak" - that should be a simple self auditing practice for anyone entrusted with the fiduciary responsibility of acting as an impartial grader. They're business was about grading. Why they started offering a Molly Maid service comes back to money. There's no reason for them not to note what they used, and what was done, except of course if they wanted to hide it, didn't want to confuse consumers, and/or were concerned that level of disclosure/transparency would expose them to scrutiny and less demand for their cleaning service. My money is on them preferring to do this quietly, and unfortunately it's trickled into a situation where people see AFA doing it, and they follow their lead. [/QUOTE]
