There were no indentations as the ink used was not ballpoint. I was told that such ink lays on the card's surface which apparently makes it easier to remove. I assume some sort of masking agent was used to protect the rest of the card as the only evidence of the removal is a slight loss of gloss where the ink was.
I have never paid a TPG to grade/slab a card. I certainly was going to start with this pair.
I wonder if this service could be used to remove all that bad ink on those forged T206s? That would be restoration I could accept provided it was disclosed.
