1929 Becker Bros. Theatre- remnants question/poll?

That's a good question Jason, I'd almost guess a little higher though....here is a card I picked up awhile back and on the back you can see a little square brownish spot.....I'm thinking it may have been "taped" into an album at one time? Not sure, bought it graded. And if that is what the square spot is, I guess SGC was ok with it.

Looks like a stain from a stamp mount.

I'd do it, there will likely still be some amount of staining but those big patches of paper will be gone which makes the card display much nicer IMO.

+1. In 1998, I'd purchased a 1960 Leaf Jim Bunning #144 card (last card in a somewhat short-printed set, due to legal difficulties with Topps, and legitimately difficult to locate in high grade) originating from a recent find, through SCD by mail. I brought it along with me to the National to get it graded, and it came back Mint 9 ST, as it had a wax mark on the back of it. I showed it to Wayne Varner, who said he could get the residual stain off, and he was right. He cracked it open, took care of the problem, and I resubmitted it and it came back an unqualified "9," a card I am still very proud to own (although I subsequently sold it to Wayne, I missed it, and bought it back from him at the higher price he was advertising it for. Good guy that he is, he offered to sell it back to me for the same price he had paid me for it, but I didn't think that was fair, and bought it back for the higher price, letting him make his well-deserved profit).

I don't look at your situation as altering the card at all.

Agree and this is exactly what I plan on. I just thought it would be interesting to see the percentages and some debate.

Very funny, Dan. How about if I paint the card?

Definitely an alteration.
