Are '52 Topps with red writing on bio info rubbed off

[pete zouras]

worth any less than same version with the writing intact? Do graders downgrade cards that have it? If they are worth less, then how much? Any idea what caused it? I'll try and post a picture. Thanks

Are you talking about through surface damage or print loss/misprinted? Both would be downgraded by a grader, but there are a bunch of people who like to pay extra for recurring print defects.

John- some of us may do it, but that does not mean we like it

Just for clarification, the wording wasn't 'rubbed off.' There is simply too much red ink involved and it 'tidal-waved' where the white writing should be. Were the white letters actually rubbed off, there would be damage to the red as well, which isn't the case. It's a printing anomaly.

Ted Sherman (Republicanmass) recently had/has a card like this that he referred to the back as obliterated.

No idea if that is Ted's own word or if that is a hobby word, however?

I just made it up. I think they are cool. Nobody else cares


Well maybe Bishop.
