if I'm not mistaken, I think SGC now use qualifiers..?

I found this pretty interesting, especially in light of the huge discussion re card alteration, and what standards SGC use to reject or accept for holdering......I've submitted many cards in the past that were rejected for "color added", but just got this one back with the interesting third line qualifier: (ink added).
Has the whole ball game changed?

Is this an exceedingly rare issue and that is why they felt it worthy of encapsulation with explanation?

Your name somehow ended up in the link.

Is "ink added" what PSA would call a "mark"?

Is there an exception clause to allow encapsulation if a card is rare enough that condition alone does not set the rule for slabbing?

Here, Daniel. You've got your name right up against the link, so the link doesn't work.



I think SGC will slab an important card as A for Auth, but will explain on the flip why it didn't get a number grade.

It is not a qualifier is the PSA sense. It is additional information pertaining to the reasoning behind the AUTH designation.

Another very innovative idea from SGC!

though I don't know how to rectify it......

And, when I saved the file it was just saved as collins3, and when uploading it similarly only showed the file name plus the gif extension.
Any idea how I managed to make such a cock-up?

Daniel:

When you insert the link, before you post the message, just place your cursor after the "l" in "Daniel", and then hit Enter. That will put a space between your signature and the link to the image, and everything should work fine.

and as an extra to this post, I should mention that the card also measures considerably short! Perhaps they should also list trimmed on the flip, or we could have a full descriptor of short and too much makeup....like some of the girls I used to date.....

Ok, a PSA1 with a qualifier is supposed to be a joke. Now we have an AUTH grade (designation) with a quasi-qualifier.

I don't know why they would even bother with adding the remark about the mark on the back. I would have to figure the blank back part would be obvious but I suppose it is an important detail.

The ink added is not a mark on the back, but some red foreground that has been very poorly colored in to cover a major rub.........

The addition of the color is probably the reason for the AUTH indication. I had this beat up T205 Cobb that had a little green ink added to it (very obvious) and they wouldn't give it a grade but finally gave it an AUTH designation.
