Personally, I'd call it grade poor. It's been altered, though very possibly accidentally. My personal rule is to grade altered cards as poor, though many collectors grade them Authentic/Altered instead.
Lithography ink doesn't dissolve in water. It takes specific chemicals, including a common type of rubbing alcohol found in many bathrooms cabinets. There could have been an accidental spill some years ago when the card was in a drawer, garage or basement. It's not the fist time I've seen old cards damaged by solvent or chemical. It wan't bleach, because only the ink is removed. The cardstock itself isn't brighter. I don't believe bleach dissolves ink, just whitens everything. Last edited by drcy; 07-23-2014 at 05:30 PM.
