Scott ElkinsYES - Doug did state "they" - Mastronet would clean the card. He knew I was opposed to "altering" a card, so he told me something to the effect they would simply clean it with a little bleach - convinced me it was "cleaning". I have no idea HOW the card was cleaned, as I was not there of course. I do know the back looked "whiter" than before. Also, I think I have some Before picures in an article I helped with in Beckett. I do know I have the after pictures from Mastronet's catalog (which I still have). Anyway, the before pictures can be seen - not too clearly - in Lipset's Encyclopedia - I will try and get both the Before and After scans to you MW (If that Beckett has the before scan - I will have to look - my memory is not as good as John Spencer believes it to be).
One last thing - runscott - YOU are the one bringing Greg up in EVERY post of late - NOT ME!
