I am usually on the same page as Ed but I disagree with him here. As there was no question these were the same card, I think it was appropriate to call the matter to the attention of the community because it was potentially highly relevant information. Had Greg been speculating, or just offering a personal opinion about the card, I would feel differently. Sure, it sucked for John, but the information presented was undisputed and factual and the greater good justified it, in my opinion.

We are all entitled to opinions but the consignor John had nothing to do with any of this so potentially he could have suffered financially. That is not right.

So the issue is that half of us think its ok to remove stains and the other half not. Face the facts or not it is accepted in the hobby. By auction houses, grading companies and individuals. And if some people cant see it, they should move on.

So IMO Brent or whoever owned card is in no way required to state he cracked out a card, took tape off and resubmitted. There are hundreds of cards in pop reports that are still listed and no longer in grade.

Ed this was not tape that was removed. The light areas were where the card had been protected by some sort of mount. The REST of the card was toned heavily, and that toning was removed, likely by a chemical. That may not affect your view, but that is what happened.
