So I have a pile of glossy photos that are all signed in sharpie and are all personalized. It seems that with some lighter fluid the sharpie will come off clean with no residue and does not leave a mark. I also checked under a black light and there is no residue. I want to make a "To Steve best wishes" read just "best wishes".

My two questions are

Any problem doing this? I think this is different then removing names from a ball as it does not damage the photo or the rest of the signature.

Is there any way to detect this?

Would the community at large this this was restoration/alteration, or would it be treated like soaking some are fine with it, but some aren't?
