I've done this a couple of times. Either you overpay for the card or the seller will void the sale, if he is a kind sole. Happened to me today and fortunately the seller was a kind sole. 
On this card the qualifier was a (MK), but on the scan front and back I couldn't see the mark. Had I been forced to buy, it probably could have been cracked out and resubmitted to SGC for a higher grade than the original grade -2. 
Evaluating cards with qualifiers seems more arbitrary than subtracting 2 from the number grade, but that seems to be the general rule.
I really don't like PSA qualifiers, although others differ. Just my qualified two cents.    |
Frank- No, I never have.. Not really sure what you're saying here, but you placed a bid on a card that was marked on the flip as a qualifier?... Was the auction disclosed as being a card with a qualifier? If so, it's your baby IMO....
