Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 03/28/2020 08:33 am @b123, for sure those vertical lines are surface staining. @jasper offers one possibility, but in looking at prior CCF threads, it seems as though we sometimes attribute these to contact with cardboard.

Given the size and separation of the lines (mostly straight and parallel), they don't appear to be your everyday finger or palm prints. Now if Godzilla had fingers...
