Markings, writing, and stamps can be applied to any card, whether its genuine or counterfeit.

modern typset letters and numbers printed on them
...have literally nothing to do with 115 year old cards being authentic. And some T206s that have "marks" or have been "marked with something" are unique and have none other similar to them. These I can show you. However, I have none that have the same markings as the cards in question.
Look when folks began reprinting cards there was concern. As not everyone could tell the difference. To help combat this reprinters began applying marks in modern typesetting to alert folks that they are not in fact real....but reprints.
I am 63 my eyesight is not what it was but I could ( and I am not the only one) tell at first glance these were not real T206's. Thanks to the fact that there was marking on the back.
Ignoring these warnings only helps those that would defraud collectors. Who frankly don't need the help.
