Is this damaged or tampering?

Hi. This is a PSA 7 Prerelease Clefable. 3/4 corners look similar to the image below. I was wondering if people think the corners have been inked or if this is some strange damage characteristic of this card. I know the card tends to have a terrible edges and corners.

What do you think?

100% inked, pre clefables have the notorious 4 dull corners, this is obviously an effort to fix that

If it was so poorly inked why wouldn’t they touch up every corner?

Post more pics of all corners.
I’ve had cards come out of the pack with four corners like that but they were white not blue.

Ahh the infamous Quack-able

PreFables are notorious for inking, I reckon one person back in the olden days had a whole bunch and went to town with a marker. The best way to tell is to see if it has bled into the sides of the card.

How does something like this make it through psa :sob: ?

Do you have pictures of the rest of the corners for everyone?

It definitely shouldn’t.

This is definitely something PSA needs to know about.

I never knew this was a thing. Good to know. Thanks!

That’s the first time Ive ever seen something like that get pass PSA eyes! I’ve seen a lot of people complain on Instagram etc about their cards being returned ungraded due to being recolored, those cards were so hard to see anything wrong with, this is so obvious I’m actually surprised it got through unless over the years since it was graded the ink has faded out. look forward to seeing pics of all the corners.

Lol this is not even REMOTELY close to what they have let slip through their eyes…

Id rather have a card all original w/ damage then some douche trying to fix it in his/her garage (hypothetically)…

Off the bat first glance it looks like a touch up.

I wouldn’t say “slip through” in this case since the grader knew it was alerted, but decided to grade it anyways lol



I think PSA would warranty this. It’s a cut-and-dry and classic case of recoloration.

I guess 3 corners were enough to see they were doing more than than good with the ink cover up
