Question Reguarding Erasure marks ????

Hello
I have a Team Issued photo ............blank backs ! Someone had wrote the year in pencil on the back .......
then erased it ! You can see the erasure mark if you hold the photo sideways .......otherwise hard to
detect ! My question is ............how much will Psa detract from the overall grade if I have it graded ???
I'm thinking they will deem the card as altered .......but not really sure ???

They will probably default to ruling it "altered" and not give it a grade or put it in a holder.

It is possible if you call them in advance, and explain that you want it in a holder, that they will consider slabbing it as "authentic."

I think most of us are confused about how they decide whether to do this or not, unless you consider "on a case by case basis" a sufficient explanation.

I've previously submitted a few cards with erasure marks on the back that came back as PSA 8 MK

So did you ask them in advance ............or just sent them in hoping for the best to get the MK Qualifier !

I didn't ask them. I had a few blank backed postcards that had lightly written year denotations on the reverse. They were written in pencil, I erased them (carefully!). I submitted, and they came back with the MK qualifier.
