Default 1952 Mantle SGC grading question
So I finally purchased my first 1952 Topps Mantle about a week ago and I have to say, I'm really happy I waited till I saw a very nice and presentable Mantle in my price range.

The card is graded by SGC (Auth) and says (Altered) on the label.

My question is: What is the alteration that was made to the card?

I looked at the SGC's grading scale on their website but still couldn't
narrow down an answer. If it was "trimmed" or "recolored" the site
says there should be a two letter/# code on the label.

Can anyone suggest what has been done to this beside the glue marks on the back side.

Thanks.
