Can someone tell me what looks trimmed or altered about this card?



So i got this back from an authenticator and they say it looks trimmed or altered. I had this card since a kid and have never touched it since.

Compare it by overlaying it on another card.

Which grading company was it?

This may sound like a dumb question but you didn’t color in the cheeks did you? Doesn’t appear altered from the pictures.

It’s difficult to capture on camera, but should be easy to check in person; try looking very closely at the edges of the card to see if there is any inking. (photos as an example)

If you have a UV blacklight, give the card a look under it

For some reason, the top R back looks off, BUT I don’t have the card in my hand, and the front proportions look fine to me. IDK I don’t think there’s a problem all-in-all. Paranoid, new grader?

Maybe it’s just the picture but to me it looks like maybe someone used blue marker on the top, right above the E.

Could just be the lighting, but there’s a blob of colour discrepancy right here:

Yes. I sacrificed a vintage card to the TCG gods just to illustrate the sort of inking I was referring to. May the MP WotC Non-Holo rest in Blue Sharpie forever, amen. :pray:t3:

Here are more pictures.

I tried selling it on ebay and sent it into their autenticator in canada and sent it back say8ng its trimmed/altered. Would the chipped off parts cou t towards that if i had it listed under the wrong quality? Would this be more LP or MP?
