JKCharlie has repeatedly stated that he will attempt to remove pencil and ink from cards. I for one think there is nothing wrong with that. I also think that it only adds to charlie's credibility that he has never hid where he draws the line. His position was also well fleshed out before the scans of the matty were posted by jay.
Jay - you appear to be on a witch hunt here. There is absolutley nothing nefarious about that matty. Pencil and or ink has been obviously removed from the back. The real problem (as alluded to by leon) is that GAI deemed the card to be worthy of a 2.5 - to me, its no better than a 10 or 20 (in fact, I bet in its current condition, if sent back to sgc, it would get a 10). Again, my opinion, this is more of a problem with gai than anything charlie did. Obviously charlie knows that gai is more lenient with regard to back damage - that is nothing new, I know that and I suspect most people here know that. You have failed to show me anything that charlie has altered (absent pencil/pen removal - which again, I dont feel is an alteration).
