Grading hits home

Posted By: Aaron

The card looks to have been professionally restored and then slabbed. This is a common practice among some dealers and auction houses. The restoration is so well done (there are a couple specialists in the area) that the card's alterations are usually never detected even by reputable grading services (wink, wink).

It is a very touchy subject and most who utilize card restoration will not address the subject (including the identity of the restorers) at all, for fear they will be accused of deceiving their customers/bidders or have someone realize their "secret" and muscle in on their territory.
