Default Advice about recent antique store purchase

Posted By: leon

Personally I would take my Mars Plastic eraser to that pencil mark and in about 30 seconds...viola...no mark...and by the looks of that particular mark there won't be an indention left either. The technical grade would go up a grade, or so, also. I firmly believe that if you can remove something that wasn't supposed to be there in the first place...and it has no real vintage value ie....Buck Barker sig, scoring from a game etc...then it's better not to have it. One of my fave Old Judges- Comisky Brownie Champ came in a PSA 6 MK holder. I cracked it, Mars Plastic erasered the pencil mark on it, and now it's in an SGC 80 holder. If the mark wasn't intended to be there and you can get it off without nary a hint of it ever being there...then I don't even feel full disclosure is needed. I realize I might be in the minority here but hey....that's part of what makes collecting interesting.....regards
