Default Restoration gone bad!!! 1933 Sport Kings Jim Thrope!
This guy cracked out a 1933 Sport Kings JIM THORPE card!! Then apparently "erased" the yellow in an attempt to get a wrinkle out. Now he can't get it back in the holder. Sometimes you should just leave well enough alone.

By posting the before and after pictures of this card, it just goes to show you this individual has NO BRAIN!

Well....he wanted to prove that it was an SGC 4. But the eraser mark he is showing DOES NOT appear to be in the SGC holdered one.
