That said the seller's id sounds familiar for some reason. The eBay listing was ended by the seller (not the same as completed, which implies a sale) on 2/29 just in time for him to clean it up, get it authenticated again and get it to the auction house.

I think they are starting to refuse photos that have been restored (not counting trimming since press photos are often cut down from their original size at time of publication).
I just had a photo that was rejected due to chemicals being used to remove a secretarial signature from the front (I bought it after the restoration). It had been previously graded a type one with the signature.
