I wouldn't mind seeing a new letter associated with these kinds of cards. What about putting a "R" with them, as in "Restored"?

Not a bad idea. Comic book grading companies give them a grade and a "restored" qualifier. It greatly reduces the value. Problem is that so many have already been encapsulated, that it won't do much good. Not to mention the fact that most techniques are nearly impossible to spot. At the end of the day, who cares? As long as my cards don't disintegrate from the chemicals, I am fine with it.

We're probably in the minority, but this is how I feel as well.

REA has updated the lot description.
"Addendum (4/5/17, 3:52 PM): It has been brought to our attention that at one time this card had what appears to have been excess ink on the reverse. The card was offered at public auction in 2015 in an SGC 10 holder, and at some point in time, it was removed from the holder and the issues on the reverse were diminished (faint traces are still evident as seen in our photos) and some of the creases that are still present appear to have lightened. It is possible that a water soluble ink was present and the card was cleaned in that manner, but we have absolutely no way to know what was done to the card, nor does SGC. The card was graded by SGC as they saw it (there has been no change in grade) and is presented as such." One of the largest points of contention with the Dimaggio card was the lack of disclosure by some parties. I appreciate the fact that REA has chosen to act in a more transparent manner than some involved with the Dimaggio.

So the giant pink line between "The" and "Totally" is also water-soluble ink? (honest question)

Was paper added to the top? In the first pic there is some loss there above the crown in Hindu but its hard to see on the second pic.

It will probably never happen, but either an "R" qualifier or a different color label like comics have now (CGC purple vs blue) would work well. |
