Being that this card is not from a Goldin or PWCC auction... this thread will have no legs.

To me this may be more a testament that "alterations" are becoming more "accepted" in the hobby by the masses...especially if the card has been entombed because the TPG'ers opinion trumps all.

I think we just found out why the 1.5 D304 Cobb in LOTG went high, LOL.

Pretty sure he's referring to the writing on the back that someone may be planning to remove.

Ah, thanks. I was following that card, and all I could think was that it still had the "D304" written on the back. Yeah, without that, way different card.

Just a guess, but I'd bet money these guys might have had something to do with it?

Curious, has anyone ever watched Fake or Fortune before? I watched a mini marathon last week and was blown away with the technology that is out there! Not only with fakes, but mostly to do with restoration. If you have the money, they have the know how.

Now that we know Jon Canfield bought the Cobb, we can scratch that theory. But it was a good theory.

Doctors could bid a card up, no matter who wins it. I'm sure it's happened to me lol.

As opposed to lawyers? Or truck drivers?

"Doctorers" might fit better.

Thats a fantastic job...still an SGC 1, but the overall eye appeal is off the charts now.

Oh, I just thought he meant doctors were rich, so they are the ones that bid it up!

It looks like the ink was water-soluble.

What can be done is amazing. It is still a poor condition card but looks amazing.

Some very scary sh, er, stuff.

Guys, these are 100 year old pieces of paper. It's a miracle they still exist, much less that they look half-way decent. If you collect pre-war and have cards that are graded a 2, there is a very high probability that one or more of your cards have been worked on. It's a reality I have come to grips with.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new letter associated with these kinds of cards. What about putting a "R" with them, as in "Restored"?

Not a bad idea. Comic book grading companies give them a grade and a "restored" qualifier. It greatly reduces the value. Problem is that so many have already been encapsulated, that it won't do much good. Not to mention the fact that most techniques are nearly impossible to spot. At the end of the day, who cares? As long as my cards don't disintegrate from the chemicals, I am fine with it.

We're probably in the minority, but this is how I feel as well.

+1

It will probably never happen, but either an "R" qualifier or a different color label like comics have now (CGC purple vs blue) would work well.
