I don't see "restoration" done on this card, certainly not like what happened to the E95 Cobb. An obvious pinhole has been made only slightly less obvious: this could be done with your finger by pushing the paper back in place if it still remained on the back. I've done it myself more than once. None of the other identifying marks on the cards have been removed.

If the card is short (and it looks like it might be), then it's on GAI to explain why they graded it.

Sometimes cards come back with grades that are unexpectedly good. Isn't that what happened here?
