Yes, I see that philtrim is almost cliporatory, but its most likely a case of multi-association of the core fibers

Mine doesn't have such a defined philtrim...perhaps it was owned by a dentist...or cosmetic surgeon and he penciled that in. Looks like PSA screwed up again...should be altered!!!!!

The 6 also appears to have some sort of groove in the forehead?

My favorite card and one that I regret selling so I am always looking out for them and have never seen one with a pronounced philtrum like that.

Might explain why the card was listed so low compared to other 6's which sell for 3k-3.5k
Looks like print lines to me???
The left border has a strange trim to it too. Almost like a rough cut.

To me the holder looks tampered. Look at the irregular frost around the edges of the holder. I could be wrong.

Not on mine as well. Does look to be a print line of some kind.

As others have mentioned, it looks to me like either print lines, scratches, or scuffs which, by their placement and angle, appear to be a philtrum.
