How picky will PSA be about this...

Steve1124

I am considering a purchase of a 1963 Bazooka hand-cut panel, which the seller describes in glowing terms, except for one thing: on the reverse, the original owner wrote neatly in ink "T63B". Being that the backs of these cards are BLANK anyway, is this something that PSA is likely to knock down a grade or two for? Should i attempt to eradicate these inked letters somehow?

If there's any writing on the card at all that isn't done by the player or by the company that made the card, I'm almost certain PSA automatically won't give a higher grade than 3.

A 3??? Good grief! I was wondering if they might do something like give it an "8 MK" (MK= marks, such as writing, pencil, etc.). I wonder if there's any kind of subtle way to remove inking--scraping with a razor for example?

Don't request "no qualifiers". You have a good chance of getting a grade like 8 (MK).
