Removing the yellow ink?

I would assume so, but how? Not that I want to try this. Just curious if it's an easy alteration.

I was kidding, Steve. As someone suggested above, it looks like it missed the yellow color pass. Check out the following eBay auction for 1960 Fleer proofs. You can see what the same card looks like with and without the yellow.

I guess I'm a gullible pessimist. I tend to believe the %99.99 chance of alteration and wanted to know if this was the case, what did the person that did it go through to achieve the outcome. I got the card for under $10 and that's about the average for that card unaltered. Another blue Meredith popped up a couple months later and I'm not sure if it was the same seller because my eBay history doesn't go back that far to tell.

Here is a link to a post that will kind of explain green to blue color change.

It is hard to tell from a picture but the card the OP showed looks faded not missing color.
