PSA Response from President Steve Sloan

How is he perfectly matching the ink when he recolors these tiny spots?

i've seen cards that are not perfectly matched & still sneak by.

Into at least the early 80's, any color that wasn't straight CMYK was mixed by hand, and most printing inks don't lighten/darken after drying.

It's not hard to mix the color to match. And even easier of you have access to one of the color matching devices. Some paint stores have them, scans the supplied chip and gives what to mix to get an exact match. They probably exist for printing too.

On the scans I've seen, the match wouldn't even have to be all that good. A nice high res scan is almost as good as having the card in hand.

Plus, if he is able to remove the gloss, or a portion of it, then wax or buff the surface, it would make it less noticeable. I'll reiterate, when the areas are pointed out, it's very obvious in some cases
