Maybe it wasn't so much a stain, maybe it was remnants of cola or some water soluble fluid. Maybe the card was merely soaked. And maybe, just maybe, the card slabber folks aren't as adept at detecting a soaked card... or maybe they don't discount mere soaking at all.
If chemicals were used, then I'd like to think that those grader guys would be all over that. I don't think chemicals should be used, and if they are that should definitely be disclosed as the card changes hands. But soaking a T206 in water isn't that big of a deal, it isn't a deal at all. Many of them have been soaked, many of them were once pasted into scrapbooks.
