	I'm guessing that the "alteration" is that someone added a body to the "Portrait". Good going PSA   |

	PSA even got the label incorrect on a reject. Either that or the seller is being a putz, but I somehow believe that PSA just blew it again. Altered could mean many different things: trimmed, skinned, rebacked...  |

	Aside from the laughable error, I really wish all the grading companies would be more specific in this kind of situation. I would be much more interested in a card with a mended corner than a rebacked card or a card with ink added. PSA obviously reached a conclusion that a specific alteration occurred. It would be nice if they shared their conclusion.  |

	Looks rebacked--paper looks off although it could be the scan. The photo does not line up on the left edge although that does not definitely make it rebacked--could be a sheet edge copy.  |
