Defaced Cards
 

Show some cards that kids had fun with. The Bender below has an emblem change that I missed (so did the TPG). Who's got some other examples?

It also looks like the A. has been added at the bottom, so that's 2 strikes on the TPG.

This came in a beater lot, looks like some kids were passing it back and forth to cuss each other out. "You a fool and I said so...so are you".

I imagine some child outlining this card in blue pen.

The A in the caption of the Bender is actually supposed to look like that, even though it does look strange.

The grading co should reimburse for that one. Pretty big mistake.

I actually bought the card raw and submitted it at a show with a few other raw D304s. I never noticed it. Hard to blame the TPG since I knew what card I was buying. The seller might have mentioned it to me and not sold it at market price but that's another issue. :(

I'm not going to go to the TPG and demand money based on them missing the same thing I did. I don't even care to mention which TPG because I'm not interested in that debate. I'm also not going back to the seller. Maybe he didn't notice either, maybe he did. Either way, I don't see the point. Also, I did buy the card and not the holder but in this case but was more concerned with the back actually, since it is a Martens back which is fairly rare for this card.

A bunch
 

I have many that I could add to this thread, but I picked up over 100 of these 1933 Goudey's that have been heavily modified. Love the four versions of Alvin Crowder. I've always loved the way these look (the black border is an improvement in my opinion) ... but they look a little too professionally to be done by a kid in my opinion. Although if they were, that's a very talented kid! [Oh, and if anyone ever finds anymore of these ... let me know! I'm interested in getting more.]

Cheers,
Patrick

The two top cards are pictures pasted onto 1960 commons. The bottom card has a different hat pasted on. It looks like a new team name was pasted on at one time as well, but it is gone.

Both a little tough in their own way. The Howell sort of grows on you, the Burchell not as much.

I lovingly refer to the below card as "Exorcist" Bill Dahlen due the perfectly placed inkspot. It is probably one of my favorite cards, due to the post-production modification.

Steve, That Howell reminds me of the Topps Who Am I ? from the 60's, maybe there's a Wagner under there :)

I did it all by myself
 

I know this is out of place in this forum, but I need some sympathy, so

As a kid I was obsessed with knowing how many cards I had. (Hey, it takes all kinds.) Anyhow, as I counted I kept track the best way I could think of.
Now why couldn't I have hit 100 with Reno Bertoia or 200 with Mayo Smith?

Looks like someone tried to add bats around this player and turn a T208 into a T205...

Two from my collection.... I might be taking this too literally.

Dahlen and Monobrow
 

Here's a T205 Dahlen I have, plus the "worst card ever" from an OBC brother. If anybody needs an Etchebarren, you might want to contact him for a trade...

Take Care,

Love it. Dahlen looks like he's just ducking under the top edge.

Here you go Jason, I wonder if my kid sat next to your kid in class when they were making changes to the graphics on these?

Your kid had a little more skill. I like it! ;)

Anybody got a Wagner I can doodle on?
