I think its the same card that has been cleaned up a bit. That top left corner looks exactly similar as does the way the blue intersects the black border on the top right of the card. Border measurements look the same as does the way the lettering of the name and team kind of slope down to the middle from the left then back up toward the right. The rea card has a smudge at the top of the N in N.Y. that isn't on the PWCC card or at least doesn't appear to be and the small paper piece below the N in the rea card has been removed. Bottom line I think its the same card that has been cleaned up.

I'm glad someone else thinks it was cleaned a little. I was mostly comparing the notch in the upper left corner. The left side indent appears smaller in the PWCC listing and equal distance from the top. Where the notch in the REA listing appears twice the size of the distance from the top.

REA one has a mark in the upper right quadrant, PWCC one doesn't appear to.

I was looking at that mark also but if you look closely at the PWCC card you can see a slight outline in the same place. I think it was there, I think its been cleaned. I think its the same card. Also look at the reverses of both cards there is that same space in the top line of the printing and all the other anomalies line up. I'd love to know who consigned this card. Who cleaned it.

Maybe the person who cleaned it is the one with 16 bids on it so far.

Yep, that spot on the temple isn't on any other white cap I can find. Also like some notice that top left corner of the card has the same little tip out of it. Definitely cleaned but Is that ok ? Does that count as being altered ?

It could be the scans, but if those are the same setting, the cleaning resulted in a loss of some vibrancy IMO.

my problem is it looks like it was cleaned digitally. look at the odd pixel texture where the dot was in the blue field.

Great catch Larry! Definitely the same card, but it’s very curious if someone cleaned it- the guy cracks out an SGC 5.5, alters the card, and then resubmits it back to SGC, who then bumps it .5. You know with that corner, the spots on the card and the bad OC back, it wasn’t getting that much of a bump at all (6 at most), with the risk that it gets an A. Seems to me the juice isn’t worth the squeeze on cracking and messing with the card. I like the theory that it’s in the pictures/scans/pixels. But nevertheless, whatever happened, it resides in an SGC 6, so they bumped it, either as a raw submission or on review.

If PWCC's scan is all but hiding that significant mark in the upper right quadrant that's pretty worrisome.

I agree. It now looks pale/washed out compared to the original. Also, there is an indent/line to the right of his cap that is clearly visible but not so much in the second scan/pic.

Could just be the scanner setting making everything look different but I believe the card has also been cleaned rather than just resubmitted.
