Default Does Not Look Right?

Posted By: Kevin Saucier

I've shown a number of altered cards, not to predict doom or show-off but for instances just like this.

As you have seen, blank T206 cards (and others) can be made and if skillfully done, are somewhat undetectable. Most, if almost all, are detectible though. Then again, many are the real deal.

Luckily scans can sometimes have a blacklight or halogen effect. In other words, show flaws and imperfections. IMO the back of this particular card, as it is displayed, illuminates how an altered card is typically seen under a blacklight.

Knowing what you know now, would anyone still seriously consider buying this card or cards like it? If so, the idea it can be altered has to be a factor or an underlying thought now.
