Oh, man, the notorioulsy harsh KN6 grader strikes again. PQG's "grader of death". That card should at least be 9PQ-MT. Crack and resubmit.

That's an accugrade ASA holder. I think they were one of the first graders, maybe Alan Hager? Definitely not a homemade thing.

As I recall, a Premium Quality meant that one (or more) of those qualities (like corners) was esp. good for the grade - if they were all good it would have got a higher grade). So it means a premium quality - not a half grade or anything. Nice card though. The PQ could be corners or surface fro the looks of it.
