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.

Great info and thank you for sharing. It made me go back to look at the website and read the submission form. Does not have any language about agreeing to not submit restored photos. It does make sense that in spite of their not assigning a grade the photo should be assessed for more than generation but also originality. To me trimming a photo is nothing like trimming a card but removing stuff would fall into the category of an alteration.
