Please help, PSA says color added. Pics

Ok, I have been getting cards graded for 9 years now. And I was on a streak of about 4 years straight without sending one altered card. I got pretty good at spoting the fakes. This one I got back last month as color added. Im not sure what they are seeing. Ive held it in many angle in the light and I cant see anything. Can anyone help or spot it?

Bad scan. It doesnt look that white. I closed the lid .

First check the edges with a loupe. If someone touched up the edges with brown marker some ink will have leached down into the edges. If you have a black light, sometimes you can see a dull patch or filled in background snow. Sometimes you can't find it with any means and then I resubmit.

you might also see some wear (maybe lower right hand edge) with chipping of the color. Those 62's are so tough that even MINOR wear will result in some chipping. If there is wear without chipping or any paint loss, you found your recoloring. I received a 55 bowman back from PSA and they marked the areas where it had been recolored.

you need a blacklight. PM "marz" on this board, he sells them.

If you look at the bottom corners on the reverse of your Cepeda, you'll see there is some wear to both corners. On a '62, with that much wear on the reverse two corners, you'd expect some chipping on the front as the other poster mentioned. On your card, there is virtually no chipping to be found. Indeed, I've had '62s with no wear to be seen on the reverse, and there was chipping on the edges and corners on the obverse. That may be why it came back recolored, or, as someone else mentioned, it may be even more obvious. You'll need some excellent lighting source, and put the card at a 45 degree angle, and check to see if there's evidence of marker touchup on the corners and edges. I see a lot of that on the '71s too. The marker is usually brighter and a tad more glossy than the rest of the card, and "floats" where it was applied. One card doctor I ran into years ago used furniture scratch repair markers on his '62s. They come in all wood grains and tints!

From the scans, it looks like the right hand border from his armpit/shoulder to his eyes.

Not only as mentioned, but I've seen coloring on cards attempting to cover up light scuffing, so that's also something that needs to be looked out for.
