Goudey Ruth 144 altered

[Promethius88]

Not looking to hijack the post but it is ironic I stumbled across this as I was about to post the same question on the same card.....well, not the same card but 33 Goudey Ruth #144. I picked it up yesterday and I had a couple of questions. The card comes from a trusted source. The original owner had it for a few years and probably purchased it this way then his family sold it to a LCS where it has been for I believe a couple years. Anyhow, it was sent to PSA and came back unslabbed as "altered". Now, I couldn't figure out what was considered altered as it has a small rip on a corner and a couple small creases. But as I woke up in the middle of the night I thought that it must have been some type of cleaning. That leads to my questions.
1. How can I get PSA to slab a card as "Authentic Altered"? I have sent in a 61 Topps Mantle before that someone erased a moustache off the Mick and asked for it just to be slabbed altered but it came back in a card saver both times.
2. Do you guys think the alteration on this is most likely washing or bleaching?

Thanks and again, didn't want to hijack the thread, just didn't want to make another post on the same card.
