So yeah, weirdly, another very trusted presser I talked with didn't think a press could do that. I guess I could see it happening with the ink being heated. If that was what did it, would it result in a purple label from CGC?
Second, don't know what "midi tire" is (even tried googling it), but he claims that this book was stored in a shoe box after being bought years ago, although he says it was stored in a warehouse. So don't know if there was a bag and board that something could have gotten into. What is it?
