Let me say, I appreciate the work Kevin has done showing us the slippery path we follow when purchasing rare t206 print defects. At least, he has made us aware of these alterations and hopefully, more diligent in our inspections of these type cards. However, the example shown here falls short of convincing me of that peril. I would certainly hope that SGC or Psa (if still grading these) would know which one was the altered card. I can tell even without the use of a 10x loupe. I would love to see the altered card in person and with a loupe. I am not convinced you can remove ink from a card without some evidence of its removal discernable under high magnification. I am still an unbeliever at this point. That could change, but I would have to see the altered card in person.
