It's considered mostly with pity, a survivor that ran into a bad situation and got defaced. You can't undo something like that, it's not like it got painted which can be removed.</p><p>It COULD be very different with silver objects, i have no idea how those collectors view that sort of thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
