Is that writing on top of the plastic sticker?? Looks like someone took out a Sharpie and wrote either on or under the sticker on the caseback. Once the plastic is removed, the "rare numbers" will go as well..........either as they are part of the sticker or easily erased if they are on the caseback itself. Why didn't your brother ask the AD why someone wrote on it rather than folks on this forum?? Seems the "mystery" could have been solved there and then......cheers!
