In the old days it was easy to see the recoloring, because the marker-wielders always hit the gray sides of the cards with their Sharpies, too, so it stood out like a sore thumb. These days, not so much. At least the other Blyleven RC got a nice grade and looks sweet!!!
Guess this is apropos here... 243. Charcoal Merchant (also Blackpeddler) A person who deceptively darkens the corners and edges of 1971 Topps cards in order to pull a fast one and pass them off as high grade. See also: Sharpieshooter - one who is highly proficient at this deceitful activity. See also: Tragic Marker - the discovery that one of your key 1971 cards was recolored sometime in the past. See also: The Gray Sides Giveaway - when a recoloring job is so amateurish (or quickly done by a kid back in the day) that parts of the gray sides of the card are also blatantly mottled with black.
