Rust stains on 1936 sports postcards

I have nineteen 1936 Champion and Triumph hockey postcards which have rust stains on the backs. Some more than others. The fronts seem fine. Can anyone advise me on the possible PSA grading for this type of flaw?? I don't want to send them in with little knowledge as to the possible grade/qualifier/penalty. Thanks!

    SCANS! Front and back. That would help greatly in evaluating the cards for you.

    I tried to upload the scans but it seems that uploads are limited to 50KB which is quite small ... suggestions?? Thank you.

    Are you sure it is rust and not foxing?

    I guess I'm out of the loop ... what is foxing??

    Foxing is a term describing the age-related spots and browning seen on vintage paper documents such as books, postage stamps, certificates, and so forth

    They'll recieve an (ST) qualifier for stain.

    Ok, thanks. They are all for the most part VG-EX. Would you say they would grade 4 or 5 with the "st" qualifier? I just don't want to send in these cards which have great eye appeal and then get a PSA 1 because of the foxing.

    This card received a PSA 3 and has more damage than your cards:

    Thanks. Yes, this also seems to have obvious foxing on the front as well. Would you suggest allowing the qualifier or asking for no qualifiers?

    I personally stay away from all qualifiers.
