The more I look at that back the less I think someone has doctored it with blue ink. I think the card was minimally pasted in a scrapbook, then torn out. (Oh, if they'd only soaked the card, instead of altering it by tearing part of the back.) The paste didn't stick where the print was, the print remained. I think if that card were seen in person the missing surface paper area would be up close to that "P", but not into it.
I understand the thread started out about the slip. It is a worn card, but it isn't as horrible as everyone seems to think. I won't win it, someone else has bid. They bid $60, I might have done that had I known how, as I looked at the site it seemed the next bid it would take was $75. Maybe someone can fill a hole in their collection.
