If it was one of those 1951 Bowmans with previous wax stains, I would say those were very likely chemically cleaned.
However, since you first tried to get made whole by PWCC, you should now go to PSA.

The card is a 1900 Cope's Golf Card of Old Tom Morris. The card was previously purchased by Gary Moser and was apparently in PSA 2 slab before I bought it in a PSA 4 slab.

There are before and after photos in posts 79 and 82 of the linked thread.

Going from a 2 to a 4 wouldn't likely just be from light cleaning. I'm guessing there was also a crease pressed out. The before card wouldn't have gotten a 2 just from light staining, IMO.

That card is altered.

A few hundred and they won't return it. Sad.

Betsy probably wrote that email from her 1.5 million dollar home.

ANY card Moser had his hands on should be eligible for a refund.

ANY card PWCC sold is suspect and should be eligible for a return.

Sorry this happened to you.
