first time:
card had been "altered" the first time when extensive coloring had been added, and especially around the ear.....some "paper"(I believe) was added...and other major altering items performed on the card....
second time:
card was "un altered" by "altering" it again being reversing the original restoration......
this is EXTREMELY unfortunate as now no one really knows truly how much this card has been worked on....
it breaks my heart to see a piece of history being tampered with extensively....
my friend and board member mike s has held this a few times...
if you are going to drop serious cash on something like this, original in any condition , is the way to go....because no one truly knows what has been done and undone to this card...
CARD IS 100 % ALTERED .....AUTHENTIC, BUT NONE THE LESS ALTERED

This is precisely the point I was making earlier. 100% altered. What once was done cannot be undone.
