Well, in your OP, quoted below, you asked for thoughts, and that is what you got, at least from me. Go ahead and do whatever it is that suits your fancy, as it really doesn’t impact me, other than potentially driving up the ‘price’ of originals in a questionable state (questionable state is the reason for your OP, correct?), thus upping the value of any original and unmolested samples I (or others) have for either my heirs or I when the time comes to sell, but honestly not a concern. I say go for it, it’s only your money.
