Are '52 Topps with red writing on bio info rubbed off

Simple answer, it should knock the grade down either way how the grader sees it. It would be a either a PD as a flaw for the over-inking or at minimum a knock for poor registration.

More difficult answer, some of us weirdos are drawn to print errors like this. For the 2% looking for these they may actually pay a premium (more drastic the impact the better). When I see cards like this my recommendation is always to not grade it.

It sure doesn't help the grade, but as a print defect, I pay a premium for them.

Well maybe Bishop.

Thanks for clarifying, Ted.
I was leaning towards the side of an actual hobby word.

Someone sure used too much ink that day... Or too little water. But I'd bet on too much ink.

Just make sure you don't post this card on Blowhard. They'll unanimously conclude that it has been "recolored".
