I've often wondered about this before ... probably in one form or another when I heard people were wiping Pujols autos from his chrome rc to have him re-sign with a beautiful signature. IIRC, some hated it and some thought it was fine.
The thought popped up in my head again, when I've seen some low numbered and 1/1 cards with wretchedly plain swatches and/or sloppy autographs that are off the sticker.
So, here is the discussion question:
How do YOU feel about taking a 1/1 with a horrible Panini sticker signature and/or boring swatch & replacing with a beautiful Panini sticker signature and/or fantastic patch from a card numbered to /10, /25 etc?
If I bought one, and found out it was altered, I'd probably be miffed, but only if I couldn't verify that the patch piece was authentic or not. I guess in this fantasy question, you have to ask yourself if you could absolutely verify everything was authentic. In the real world, unless it was explicitly shown somewhere that it was modified, I would only be ok with a signature swap since you can tell from the sticker if real or not. If there was evidence that the patch was authentic, then that may be a different story.
