How do you think PSA will handle this?

I bought this rookie Hulkster on Ebay the other day. The seller disclosed the dot on the back of the card, but I felt it was still a decent deal.

How do you think PSA will handle the dot? ST qualifier? PD qualifer?

    Not sure, but I’ve had a similar stain drop the card to a 5.

    So, they gave it a ST qualifier as opposed to an MK or PD?

    Wow! Very nice. I have seen that type of “stain” on the back of quite a few cards over the years and think it is a naturally occurring things in the cardboard.

    The 85 Hogan’s have been on fire with a 7 recently going for over $1,100.

    I have a 15 voucher sub I am working on and figure I will throw it in and hope for the best.

    I know it's been discussed here before, but can't recall if the conclusion was cardboard related or oil from the rollers during the printing process. Personally, I don't think cards like this should receive a 10, and if back scans had been provided when I picked this up, I would have passed. That said, it doesn't seem disqualifying for a high grade.

    I submitted 4 of these back in December. I have a feeling I will be up-charged on those submissions. Those cards are on fire!

    I have several cards from this set that have that same dot on the back. Its fairly common and honestly think it should drop the grade at least 2 points, but what do I know

    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    expect a 5. I have a 1985 Clemens with a small dot on the back : otherwise an 8 or more.(In my opinion) Got a 5 with no qualifier. Might have gotten a higher grade with Qual, It could depend on the grader.

    Your fine I don’t think that is a stain and is common on topps issue from the factory.

  • On this very same topic, what do you all think about the marks on this card above Hogan's shoulder? Just opened it up and it looks great other than these print marks, how do you think PSA will handle this one?
