Thats funny!

If it was very light and under magnification and the erasure can't be seen, then who cares? However, many if not most erasure marks will be detected. Transparency in these cases is key. I remember selling a great looking Comisky OJ to JimB (RIP) and told him I had erased a mark on back that the graders couldn't see anymore. He was cool with it and happy. I told him up front though....
