I think Mike asked originally what issue the card was to determine the type of stock the card had and not if "it was worth it" i.e. pre war etc. I think you know that ink removal is considered an aleration, but I get the impression that you want the card just to present well for yourself and your collection and there is nothing wrong with that. I have no idea how to get rid of ink outside of bleach which I have never tried and would think long term it would erode. I am just trying to stick up for Mike. I don't know him, but I think you misinterperated his response. You might try some gentle art erasers to try and remove without damage. Best I can recommend without doctoring. Even then some would consider doctoring.

Be Well,
