He also trimmed off the "Big League Chewing Gum" banner on the cards that featured those. I have a signed copy of every HOF rookie card from 1934 on, six signed T206 HOF cards, and 44 different signed 1933 Goudey HOFers, but the cards from Mr. Laity's collection are by far my favorites.
Those are great, but I would bet that the red line was drawn after the card was signed, not before.
