Look at the bottom border notch under the "Y" in York. Look at the white print spots next to the "L" in Lorne and just above the "N" in New. Look at the rough cut right border on both cards. The line up exactly the same. I believe it was cleaned before it went from a 7 to an 8, but it is definitely the same card. |

You are correct. I was thinking of the other one that did bump. Either way, yes, it looks like it was cleaned.

Good detective work by the guys on this thread. Unfortunately, this is likely the very small tip of a very large iceberg.

Got this link from Joseph Pankiewicz Sportscards facebook page. If you click on the link you'll see Probstein is the seller and pank21 is the 3rd highest bidder. Those of you with facebook must be signed in to see his fb pages with info I believe. This thread has 100 views per response which is very high, will be interesting to see if anything comes from it.

I wonder what percentage of these upgrades are from cards purchased at shows with no scans to provide comparisons. I expect every major collector of graded cards has these alterations in their collection.

I wonder what they are doing to clean up these cards like this?
I admit I thought the Worsley were completely different cards for awhile. Are they blasting the stray print marks with UV or something? |

I have a great deal of admiration for the ethical people who alter cards and the ethical ebay sellers and auction houses who knowingly list them.
