How was this altered?
Just looking for opinions on why this WWG Ruth was labeled as altered. Thanks

Looks to me like the top edge is messed with a bit. On the back looks like the dull razor skipped a couple of times. Maybe color added where the check mark was on the front?

I'm guessing that there used to be a check mark on the card, that appears to have been erased. I think that erasing any writing qualifies as altered?
Also, it's hard to tell. Kevin might be right. That check mark spot looks like it could've been colored in after erasing. Last edited by novakjr; 01-21-2012 at 06:50 PM. |

My guess is trimming.

Just saw your reply. That's what I was thinking it had to be too but it measured 1/16" bigger both L/R and T/B compared to my '34 WWG Ruth. They probably would have put the MK qualifier on there if the check mark was still intact, but I guess there's no telling on that. Thanks

That didn't take long...
I've been looking at the edges so much I don't think I've even checked the picture part. These are two cropped pictures (reason the border is out of line): Thank y'all for the eyes.
Edited: Resized the picture, was too big Last edited by Clutch-Hitter; 01-21-2012 at 07:38 PM. Reason: resize |
