But to take the eraser end of the pencil to one that previously marks on it and list it on eBay without mention is punishable by law?
If the seller lists it as unaltered, and does so with the intent to defraud, then yes.

ETA: subject to Peter's caveat. If the buyer relies on any representation that the card is unaltered and that factors into the decision to purchase, or the price, then it is fraud.
