PSA Question re: "MK" Qualified
Posted By: Cobby33
I'm (still) involved in a transaction for a higher-end T206. It's graded PSA 1 and has a rubber stamp on the back. After reviewing the scan, PSA "suggested" that it may have gotten a 3 "MK," but since the submitter didn't request a qualifier, it was given a straight 1. |

Why not have a qualifier for creasing or back damage or corner wear? All PSA graded cards could be 10's, but with qualifiers. Like, 10 (CR) for creasing. |

PSA Question re: "MK" Qualified

i guess it depends on how big or bad the stamp is and if its a big name or not...i have a cy young card that has a small pen mark on the back and im sending it to SGC so i can have it placed into a holder, at least for the authentication sake of it if i ever resell it... |

If you stick with PSA then I'd just take the qualifier because the defect will be fairly obvious when people see the card. A "3" does look (and sound) better than a "1". |

So why is there a PSA 1 MK grade? I've seen them before. They can give an unqualified "1" and ignore the mark if the card is nice enough? Okay, whatever. |

MK qualifiers are useful in describing the card. I hate getting cards in the mail that look nice in scans but are graded lower becase of a big "X" written on the back. |

Thanks for the input so far and Pete, that's actually a good point you raise. Thanks. |

It was my understanding that PSA always gave the MK qualifier on a card regardless of if the submitter requested qualifiers or no qualifiers. It is the only qualifier that PSA requires to be present at all times. That is why you see PSA 1 (mk)'s. |

An sgc card with a mark other than toy town or old put stamp (and maybe a few other generally recognized marks/stamps) will usually not receive a grade higher than a 30. This was once a psa 4(mk). For what its worth, I think most collectors generally discount any marked card two grades. |

I'm with Josh; i've had some top drawer cards that easily merit 6 or better come back with the 30 grade time and time |

Josh, you should send the Young into PSA where it will be a 4. |

That Dahlen is mine. This is part of the reason I initially posted my question. Seems like you never know what you'll get! |
