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

BODA does not post altered cards unless the proof of alteration is conclusive. They have hundreds more that you’ll likely never see, for which the evidence is incomplete or not 100%.
And it is the paper fibers that are most often used as the common tell-tale identifiers. No two cards have the same “pulp” patterns or specs of paper fiber. It’s not the printing... it’s the paper (of which no 2 pieces are exactly the same).
