The soccer card has had quite a few inks removed, including in the background. Erasing all the overlapping color inks from a point is different that intentionally removing only one of multiple overlapping inks at a point. It two paper targets are side by side, it's easy to shoot one and miss the other. If the targets are placed touching one directly in front of the other, like pages in a closed book, it's nearly impossible to shoot one and miss the other. Similarly, with overlapping inks at a point, one can easily remove all the inks or none of the inks, but one can't intentionally remove just one while leaving the others behind. That is what I am saying is not possible. As most card collectors know, printers often intentionally overlapped two color inks to make a third color. From observation or knowing what 'primary' colors were used by the printer, a collector can determine where on a Pre-War card inks physically overlap to create an intentionally different color.
