This type of restoration work is common in the comic book world and the comic industry’s TPG leader CGC goes into great detail on this subject. I trust that CGC has true professional graders who can detect the most sophisticated work. PSA not so much. Comics are way ahead of the game in this restoration subject.

Safe to say if you get a great comic restoration professional working on cards it’s likely going to pass card TPG’s.

It's hard to tell from the scans, but I think it's probably a very light trim at the top, and maybe removing a bit of debris from the card, which might not even have been stuck on.

The second scan is a bit blurry, but counting the dots between the name and border gives 16 on the before, and 15 maybe 15 1/2 on the after. (Going from the right tip of the N)

If that bit below the name isn't just a few stray fibers and is a scratch, the work done is amazing. Recoloring the Orange wouldn't be all that difficult, doing that and fixing the dot pattern so it doesn't show is.

I believe you're right. That little white portion below the "E" in HENRY had to be some stray paper or debris. I don't think there's any way that the orange/yellow dot pattern could be recreated so perfectly.

You really think CGC catches everything? Lol. Not an industry I know near as well as Sportscards but even I know that guys get stuff through the comic graders just like guys get stuff through the card graders. Hell sometimes it’s the same people.

How about a Mt Rushmore of the most crooked dealers and well known card doctors.

That Annie Oakley Card is the most disgusting 9 I’ve ever seen. Cut short and majorly tilted ......how rigged is their opinion ? What line won’t they cross.....what won’t money buy...obviously all is fair game in this crooked industry.

There's no business like the card business.

Can't they immediately see that the borders are waaaaaaaay thinner side to side, than top-to-bottom? This is about the 500th example, in which an immediate glance tells you its trimmed. Either PSA is spending ZERO time examining these cards, or someone there is in cahoots with these deceitful and shameless butchers.

Of course instead of a mountain this would have to be located in a cave, closer to the fiery you know where.
