This card has been chemically cleaned to remove a brown stain on the back. Not only is the card's reverse noticeably whiter when comparing the SGC 4 ("before") with the PSA 5 ("after") photos, but the chemical treatment has caused loss of the over 100-year-old red inks in the Sweet Caporal back. This is another card purchased by Gary Moser's whitman111 eBay ID that has been altered and personally reviewed by Brent Huigens, who awarded it PWCC's highest sticker, the PWCC-HE, which means it is, in his opinion, in the top 5% of cards of its class for eye appeal.
Furthermore, the SGC 4 description speaks of "an exceedingly light crease to the upper right corner and some mild back staining" on the card. The staining is visibly gone from the PSA 5, but there is no mention of the crease in PWCC's auction description either. I believe that the crease was pressed out by the card doctor.
Red circles on the front and blue circles on the back are marks common to both images, proving it is the same card. The purple shape on the back shows where the stain was located. This card was sent in via e-mail tip.
