Kind of ot: but is there a best practice, or statement if work that tpa's typically try to follow?
Going along with Rhys' theory, my gut says this one has had ink removed for aesthetic purposes...but who knows until you touch it?

I always use a blacklight when examining a signed baseball. If a paper item, for whatever reason, arouses my suspicions then I blacklight that too.
