Wouldn't even be surprised if the letters were erased on this one given how it appears to be bleached or lightened. To me it just doesnt seem to be worth what was paid but thats just my opinion.
I don't think it's bleached or lightened in any way other than the picture.

All the sellers other scans except maybe one or two look too bright and maybe have the contrast boosted a bit. The downside is that the colors are much brighter than they probably actually are. On the good side, stains and such pop as much as the colors.

Both upper and lower edges do look a bit odd though.
