Love the backs of those Beatles cards. The Bob Gibson is just defacing it, not enhancing. I sold a Lew Alcindor rookie that had his name scratched out and relabeled "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar" and have seen a lot of teams scratched out on vintage cards with the new team written over it.
Definitely the cards owned by the early founders of the sports card collecting cadre (Burdick et al) are enhanced by the writing on the backs, IMO. Plus the proofs submitted to the Patent Office have been defaced but improved.
