What does the PSA qualifier "PD" mean?
Posted By: Brueso
I got a copy of the 1963 Topps #18 Buc Blasters card depicting Roberto Clemente and some others. The card was a PSA 8 PD. It had production "snow" on its front that makes me amazed anyone could remotely consider grading the card an 8- I don't care if you can cut butter with the card's edges. Interestingly, I also got a PSA 6 of the same card in a different auction and it also had the production snow on the front, but without any subgrade. |

Having a card graded seems to eliminate describing the card for alot of sellers. I go back and forth with whether to describe the card or leave it up to the buyers to ask questions of there concern and leave the blame to the grading company. |

I don't want to have to deal with the return hassle. I figure if I've described the card accurately, no one could later come back and say "why didnt' you mention this?" Particularly creases- most people want to know if they are there are not. |

I dont' know how the PSA 6 card I described didn't all get that qualifier. The inconsistency of PSA I guess. |

As long as the card was sold accurately to you wherever you purchased it (e.g. as a PSA 8 qualifed PD), then you should not have gotten ripped off. |

PSA 6 standards: "A PSA EX-MT 6 card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect which does not detract from its overall appeal" |

Personally, I don't mind some light snow if the card otherwise presents well, especially since a PD qualifier usually makes the card available for a fraction of the non-blemished version. If a card is going to be flawed, I prefer the factory flaws of PD or OC- even ST when the flaw is a gumstain, sometimes on the back-- to soft corners and worn edges. |

...has four members of the Pirates on it, and the snow is on their black longsleeves and on Clemente's face. In my opinion, it mars the image to an extent that an 8 doesn't seem like it should be possible- it would seem to me that the "surface" subgrade should reflect that somewhat. |

it's a less-than clear picture; I mean, isn't the picture what the card's basically about? How can PSA say a card is ex-mint when you can hardly stand to look at the picture???!!! |

I have some very nice condition 1957 high series cards that are out of focus. Do I understand from this discussion that PSA is not overly critical of these "ugly" specimens? |

I got a PSA 7 of the "Dodgers Sluggers" card and its focus was slightly off. Then I got a PSA 6 of the same card and it had better focus. I kept the PSA 6. |

How does PSA decide which route to go? Does the submitter ask for one or the other? |

Unless the submitter specifically asks for "NO QUALIFIERS" on their invoice to PSA, PSA will grade the card at the highest possible level, and add a qualifier if appropriate. |
