Would You, or Wouldn't You?

I recently ordered a 98 Playoff Contenders auto Tim Dwight, and received it yesterday. Sadly, I did this without seeing a photo of the card, and the autograph has some bubbling to it.

So here's my inner conflict: this card is strictly PC, and I have no intention to ever sell it down the road. Should I take the chance and touch it up with a blue marker to make the auto look better? It would definitely enhance its look, but at the same time, I feel like it may take away some of the allure of having a signed card. That, and I'm afraid I would screw it up somehow. That being said, I'm a definite perfectionist with my cards, and having a bubbled one like that bugs me.

Thoughts/opinions?

i wouldent, it would end up looking worse. if you want rub it off and get it IP signed if you can, but i would leave it as is

I too, say leave it as is. Any "work", even for a PC card, is usually not accepted in the hobby as an original card.

I would leave it. The only way I'd consider otherwise would be if you could get him to sign it again at a signing or something.

Now that would be something! I can see it now, that video would be a viral sensation. Leave the card as is since it is PC.

I lack the dexterity. And I'm leaving my nuts alone - they're my favorite.

But I will heed all of your advice and leave it as is. Thanks to everyone who contributed feedback!
