..if the back is off badly enough to rate a " PSA 7 OC " or "PSA 7 MC" but the original submission had that little box " no qualifiers" checked off , then presto you're a 5 instead of a 7 Q . Soooooo , the big question is : what's the reverse look like ? Anywhere near 90-10 ?

..gorgeous card ; congrats , you got a deal.

Great Mick, Mike!

It looked great in the pictures, so I picked up this card to add to my pile of high graded 1972 high numbers for trade, but in hand I can't for the life of me figure out why it has a 'ST' qualifier…

There are no visible stains whatsoever. The only thing I can see is when it is tilted in the light, there is a very small amount of wax residue on the front. Something that could be wiped away in less than a tenth of a second with some panty hose. Is that the "stain" they're referring to?? I always assumed 'ST' referred to a highly visible, darkened stain that was soaked into the card itself, not something nearly invisible that could easily be eliminated. Am I wrong? Wow.

[DBesse27]

Yes, wax residue will get a ST qualifier. Nice grab.

This, my friend, is a fantastic card. Major props. My brother told me about this card, if it was the one on eBay that recently sold.

Also 5's can have very hard to see wrinkles and starts of creases. Twist the card around in the light and see if you can find any of that. I have a '55 Bowman Kaline like that - corners look NM or better. That's not something that bothers me, a 5 is a 5...but I can see where it might bother some folks.
