To start, want to make clear I think doctoring of any sort is wrong ... flat out inexcusable ... so please don't infer that I am trying to defend these folks.

That said, if a printing plate had these flaws ... isn't it fair to assume that these print marks would be carried over on multiple cards? It looks like some of these specs have faded a bit which could imply being from later in the print run. Further the colors on the backs of the cards differ quite a bit which would suggest different cards.

Again, not trying to defend these folks... really just curious ... as the arguments seem to imply that there could only be one card with these marks / identifiers

And wow, how in the world to these BO detectives have the time to find these things. Impressive detective work.

Thanks
