need advice on print defects for PSA grading

reds94015

howdy all, i'm new to the PSA grading and need some input pls. i bought a collection of high grade cards from 59-61 and will get many graded. but especially the 61s, they often have little print defects, either a line, or those little colored "swirls" or whatever you want to call them like purple or yellow etc often around the name. or other issues like these--the corners are truly perfect but i'm afraid i'd get graded down for these. i'll try to post a couple scans below. would truly appreciate any feedback from people with experience in this area. should i grade them? it's not worth it ujnless i can get a psa 8, at elast on the commons. so far i can't attach my scans as they are too big for this system, i'll try to adjust. thanks mark

It is really hard to state conclusively without scans. This being said, print defects can be overlooked if they do not impact the overall visual appeal of a card. A minor print spot somewhere relatively inconspicuous is often not enough to keep an otherwise sharp card from garnering an 8. Hope this helps, I look forward to seeing some of your cards. Bobby

if you want to do it yourself, you need to use photobucket or some other website hosting to link to your pictures.
