The onus on disclosing alterations or modifications to the card falls to the original owner of the card. If they feign uncertainty over the card's history, and the current owner recognizes something has been done to alter it's long term market value, he will pursue, in order, previous card owner(s), grading companies, and known modifiers like yourself.
I'm not a lawyer by any stretch, but recognizing there's people paying for cards continuously fluctuating in market value, while grading companies and modifiers are providing a service that runs rampant to this hobby's integrity...that's a tough spot for any previous card owners to be in.
Just because I provide a service doesn't mean the outcome is sunshine and roses...it disappoints me to see poor business decisions like this being made in full view of collectors. It's too much of an ethical dilemma, going beyond a grading company's efforts to determine condition universally when every card is, in theory, a 1 of 1.
This is why we can't have nice things, I guess...
