PWCC and Doctored Cards

Possibly just hidden by the scan. If it's the same cert number the holder hasn't been opened, no?

The card is not even placed in the holder the same way if you look at the top.

If it's the same cert, it hasn't been opened, nobody is going to crack out a 10 to make a nicer 10.

Cards move around in holders.

Years ago there loads of posts about PWCC doctoring scans. Perhaps a scan issue?

I can't see how the cert would be the same and the card is in the newer holder too.

Very odd.

It's the scan. Sometimes stuff doesn't show up depending on the settings. Old Judge showed a Goudey Ruth where the wrinkles were obscured. Not necessarily intentional.

This is the saddest claim so far. It's the same holder.


Maybe it was gremlins in the scanner. I told you not to feed it after midnight.

I believe they are 2 different certs.

It's also entirely possible that a photo editor was used. On Windows 10 you can click on a JPG photo and a photo editing program will come up and there is a Spot Fix feature that will eliminate those blemishes. I can't say if that was the case in this situation.

With the same cert #?

Could have just been random chance that the PWCC image obscured the wrinkles.
