I'm posting a picture, but the quality isn't the greatest.

I will give you my honest opinion from someone who has collected 89 Fleer Ripkens for 30 years.
THEY(whiteouts) ARE ALL FAKE, this includes every one in a graded slab.
I personally have opened cases of 89 Fleer and never seen one. I know most of the major collectors/sellers of 89 Fleer Ripkens and have never had a single person say they pulled one from a pack, except one seller that was really making them.
They are altered by either removing the colored ink or adding white paint.
