BlackSoxFanHey, I understand why you are asking the question but as an active auctioneer myself, i just want to chime in. I think it is a reasonable and fair question you are asking. You essentially have two choices as i see it.
A) Attempt to remove the damage from the card. However, you will need to mention in the the auction description that the markings where there upon purchase. You as the seller are obligated to provide all pertinent information during the lots' listing on eBay. Due diligence in other words.
B) Sell it as is.
I would lean toward B myself. I know that it offers the possibility of a smaller sale price than A, but it will help to avoid any potential problems you might have with a buyer. Some people would look at erasing as a shady and less than honorable sales tactic. I believe if a card has ever been placed in an album and shows residue, has been writen on, or any alteration has been made, that the card needs to be left in that state. Just my 2 cents though! I think it's great that you ask.
Regards,
Black Sox Fan
