Josh K.I agree Al.
People want to make all kinds of assumptions regarding this card that are unfair regardless of the grading company involved. To name a few:
1. SGC must have known the card had been graded before - thus requiring some sort of institutional knowledge and oversite. If this type of research were required for every card, how much do you think grading will cost - $50 a card, more? And how long will it take to get your cards back from grading - a month or two is my guess.
2. The "alteration" or erasure must have been evident. Since I doubt any of us experts have viewed the card in person and we dont have a scan of the back of the sgc 40 card, it is impossible, despite our best guesses as to where the pen may have been, to know if the erasure is detectable or not.
