5.3 A Well-Colored Beta Scrubland

I did not notice when I first looked at this card that it had been colored. This card was not in all that bad condition to begin with.

The top border was where the coloring was most noticable. The spots were no longer glossy and smooth, but were still fully black.

The edge of the card also showed some slight bleed through from whatever it was they used to color it.
