If you are thinking of a specific card, this may be what you are identifying? A Scribble w/F with a lighter mark. The FF is visible underneath. This is one of those versions within a version. Not sure if I've seen another one quite like it.

I am going off memory here but yes, this is what I am trying to recall. Except, my memory has the FF words in black, not magenta as shown in your example. But same idea, a standard black scribble but with a lighter/opaque coverup and the FF words visible beneath it.

I have noticed in hand with good magnification you can see the F Face in most of the scribble versions. Some individual cards do show it better than others.

It also could have been something someone altered. I have seen a ton of different alterations done to these cards.

Yeah, looking at copies on comc, I can somewhat see the words through the scribbles. Maybe what I had was just a regular copy that seemed more pronounced at the time.
