I also try to avoid qualifiers but it really depends on a few factors.
-How rare is the card? Is there a very limited supply such that finding a better one is near impossible? -what is the qualifier? a mark may not bother me especially on a blank backed card. honestly severely off centered/miscut cards bug me the most...I avoid those like the plague! 0and lastly I suppose what is the price difference between this qualified card and a suitable alternative? Is it so great that I cant afford the non-qualified one? Last edited by ullmandds; 02-11-2017 at 05:44 PM.

Jumbo Wagner
The most interesting miscut card i have ever seen is the famous Jumbo T206 Honus Wagner PSA 5 (mc). It is not off-center. And it is not worse than off-center, which is what most every (mc) is - worse than off-center. But hey, if PSA says its (mc), then it must be, right? PSA must have figured it has abnormal top/bottom measurement, and that is the reason they slabbed it (mc). Ok, I can sort of maybe see the PSA's reasoning, but I still disagree and it should not be with (mc) qualifier. Then again, who the heck am I.

I believe that I read in the past that if you ask a grading company not to include the qualifier, they would return the card at a lower grade. So, a PSA 7 (MC) might come back a PSA 5.
For those of you who say that they would never collect a card with a qualifier, would you now collect the PSA 5 version? At this point, you can't be 100% sure that this card originally had a qualifier. Are you referring to cards that are labeled with a qualifier?

Grading quantifies an opinion.
Hedging qualifies an opinion. Perhaps the TPGs should just use an asterisk instead of qualifiers. But then some would argue that all cards deserve an asterisk.  Problem solved *

At the National last summer I submitted a really nice T206 Wallace PSA 7mc to SGC, hoping to crossover to a straight 7. They very nicely told me they would grade it a 6 but not the coveted 7. I declined and still have the card. I guess I could break it out and submit it raw to SGC and see what happens. That is if I can be bothered.
