The card is larger than a standard card
I see that, still looks like SGC could take a good 3 inches off the slab and still have enough room for card.
Probably just a typo in the card text that Bell caught as being wrong, as it appears that O'Neil was a manager at one point, but not an owner of the club.

I've seen a few other cases where players decided to "deface" the cards with their comments or corrections. I have a RC card signed by Darrell Porter, where he scratches out Jerry bell's name, as Porter is apparently pictured above bell's name and vice versa I assume. They both look similar, except for the glasses.
Card was in this condition before it was signed in the mid 80's. I was 8 or 9 years old and at my first card show with my dad. He searched a few tables and picked up the card so I could have Gibson sign it. My first ever auto. I had it sent to PSA for protection a few years ago and it will never leave my collection.
Was the Gooden damaged in the mail after he signed it?
No, it was pack pulled by myself in 1985, then it was in my wallet for three years before i had Dwight sign it
