Joe D.if the photo is retouched - that is just horrible fraud.
With all of the talk about card altering, I am surprised this wasn't brought up sooner. I've always worried about doctored scans... because it is so easy to do.
I will give one exception -
if a concern is brightness/contrast issues... I scanned an item a few times and was surprised to see the brightness difference in each scan. It was just the scanner somehow deciding to scan the same item differently.
But - you mentioned a print defect was removed in the scan... thats shows an overt effort to deceive IMO.
