JK"i meant the card appears to be a 4 in appearance not taking into consideration the mark. not that i thought it would grade a 4 with the mark considered. i think the pencil will leave an indentation even if i erase it. i'm curious as to what kind of effect a number written in pencil on the back will have in regards to downgrading."
With PSA, you will usually get a grade with a MK qualifier. With SGC, it doesn't really matter how nice the card is, it likely wont get graded better than a 40 and usually a 30.
