Imho, it's a little naive for anyone with a sizeable collection to think they don't have cards that have been altered in some way, even the graded one's and imho especially the higher graded one's.

In many cases it's probably almost impossible for the grading companies to catch the alterations without having access to how the card looked before the alterations.

In the case of a high profile card like this Plank, I do think the grading companies have some responsibility to check past sales of the card to see if it's a previously sold card that has been altered.

It's clear that PSA just missed it. What's astonishing is that a card of this magnitude and rarity could actually have gone unnoticed by PSA. How many Planks sell a year? Don't they even bother to easily check the card's history before grading it? And then to bump it up is just too funny. Kudos for Paragon for disclosing this and kudos to Paragon for running a cool auction with no buyer's premium.

Barry may have answered our question unknowingly. As paper conservators use several different chemicals to remove various stains, and have been doing so for decades. Is one to assume these chemicals have no long term detriment, as no one has yet to hear of any important documents, prints, paintings, etc that are either falling apart or regressing in condition.

Please ignore this post all members I made a mistake and see nothing wrong with the above at all.

On a completely unrelated topic please also get your bids in early from my upcoming sale of one card in my collection...Leon will you hook me up with a low sellers VIG with B&L?

Ted, email me your number I'll call you I hate typing..as you can see from my posts I'm not very good at it.

Cheers,

John
