This front page of Harpers with Mr. Ewing standing tall.... that's a full front page. In my mind it isn't altered. What's altered is that the rest of the magazine is gone.
A fellow doesn't send in the entire magazine issue to be graded, just the page or part of the page that has the woodcut. Why should Beckett draw the line at the issue, why not the entire volume of issues, after all, an issue is just part of the volume. Golly, to get a 1933 Goudey card graded should an entire set be submitted??
Nuts. They should grade the woodcut.
