Heritage let a card of this grade and caliber go to auction with shmutz on the case, a simple cleaning of which could have meant tons of extra $$?? Seems odd. Maybe post a phone shot of the card? Not saying you have done anything, but it does seem odd. Just sayin - as a guy who watched this card closely in the Heritage auction.

And btw Pete, you and I have never done a deal, but you list real nice cards and I am pulling for an AH mess up

Here are 3 scans I just took. As you can see from the shadows that the white markings are on the case.

I'm in the middle of a trial and my brain is fried so I'm sure I'm missing something. I thought you cleaned the case and that's why your eBay image doesn't have the white marks on the case?

I'll be 100% honest, I don't know how to photo shop stuff. I know how to put the card on the scanner and hit "scan".

That's actually more than I know how to do. I do know how to buy a scanner, however. That's where my expertise ends.

Like I stated previously I was as surprised as anyone when I got the card and noticed it was the case and not the card. I would send it to PSA to get reholdered, but I'd want it back before Christmas.

Those white spots seem to come and go. They're back on your camera pics, but look like they're back on the holder.

When asked Heritage in the past how they take their pictures they confirmed that they use a camera, not a scanner. It looks like in a scanner they don't show up well (if you look close at his glove you can notice it though), but on a camera (as I just sent scans) it shows a shadow.
