I'm not saying it's a rigged game, but the person sending it in can make a big difference.

Unless it's been "enhanced" the corners on the 7 are much nicer.

Has it been trimmed? The Heritage scan can be blown up pretty far and I don't see anything really off about the edges. If it's been done, it was done really well.

This does not appear to be a case of the person submitting it the second time getting a higher grade. Based on the backs of both cards they are the same card however the corners are much sharper on the SGC 7. Appears to be an altered card.

Good find to the OP and it is amazingly (scary) what can be done to cardboard. Makes me wonder just how many cards in my collection were in much lower graded slabs at one time.

Thanx, when i spent the day yesterday jacking the price up on it.

Good catch! Notice how the one spot along the edge is missing.

It's a real shame what has happened to two of these beauties, makes you wonder about the rest of our cards.

Is this different from the infamous altered PWCC one from a ways back? Or was that gehrig???

It's difficult to enlarge the REA image, but it is the same card.

Great catch. It’s a real shame someone took a really nice card and turned into an altered card in an SGC 7 slab. Boo on SGC as well.

Just a suggestion, but maybe change the name of the thread to something making it more obvious that an altered card is being called out - you probably get many more eyes on the thread.

That one was cleaned not trimmed I believe.
