Chemicals changed this color, it is not a scrap

[Leon]

It's just my guess that this example shown had some kind of chemical put onto it after the printing process. I don't know when, but that being said, and the fact it's considered altered, means it's not a factory product like a printers scrap I would normally think of. I am at the low end of the totem pole on knowing all of the printing nuances. I just don't consider an altered-after-the-fact card as in the same category as a regular printers scrap.

Here are the 2 I could find scans for. I find it curious how the glue can affect the background colors and hardly affect the head and body of the card.

Yep Lee - that's what I also tried to ask but must have missed the mark.

I'm also missing where anyone said that an altered card should be considered printers scrap. I think everyone's in agreement that printers scrap is something tossed in the garbage before going into production.

edited to add: Lee, it looks like the glue DID affect Matty's head - his forehead is pure white where the glue was. The only part unaffected seems to be the black ink - Steve hinted in a previous post that different inks had different properties, so maybe black is glue-proof?

To me it looks like someone intentionally used a chemical/solvent to try to remove the blue (to deceive).....it doesn't look like the cards shown with the glue seeping through......maybe they used a Q-tip with something like acetone or something similar. I don't know if that would even work, it's just a guess.
