Textless spanish Mercadian Masques

Post by mmgun » Wed Sep 04, 2013 8:52 am

Is this a real card or a fake?
I always thought textless is complete textless?

Hi

I have enlarged the card, looks like something has been used to erase the text, as it shows, but I might be wrong. The pop ups on the website, you're using are a nightmare, use Photobucket or else. IMHO

The owner says, its missing the black ink. Can this be possible from a regular production process?

Doesn't look to have been erased either mechanically nor chemically, although I won't rule it out. Missing ink is the most plausible, but tap symbols have white ink too, no?

I have enlarged and used different effects to try to see, the best as I can, Missing black ink is also a real possibility, as you can see some shadows of text on the card, trying to put up a scan.

Hi Jonathan
