I have the following Clemens. It has decent centering, but has a factory print line along the bottom. What does PSA ding the grade/qualifier for this defect?

    The white dot on the red border is normal with this card. I'd say its a solid 8. Looks alot better than the 8 I have, but not quite a 9 in my opinion. Will probably get a 8.5 under the new grading system.

    Is that a print line? I thought it was just the scan.

    It's a print line. I've got a ton of 85 fleer just like that.
    Always wondered what PSA did about it..... The card has nice corners, but is 8 on centering and seems to have a slight dent on the right border.
    I'd say 7.5 for sure, solid shot at an 8. JMO

    8 or 8.5. If it weren't for the left edge you might have a shot at 9.

    Looks like a 6.5 with no qualifiers. Maybe a bit higher if you want to go with a qualifier.

    Thanks all!

    That is a Print Line on the bottom. I have several other cards like that.

    I have never sent a card in with this factory defect, so I didn't know how it would affect the grade/qualifier.
