pencil marks on cards

Posted By: Ray Piskadlo

Jason, I believe they use the term "altered" to describe a card that has been messed with to make it appear to be in better condition. A pencil mark technically is an alter to the card, but not one made to make the card seem to be in better condition.

Personally, some markings on cards are fun to obtain. I collect low-grade T206 cards and certain cards w/ names stamped on the back or written in pencil on the back make the card seem to come to life a little bit. Shows a history to the card.

Ask the OJ collectors about writing on the backs of some cards... it can even add to their value!
