    Yes, Poor 1. Probably also with a qualifier.

    what if I marked the sub form with "no qualifiers"?

    a 1 or just an "a"...I'm happy with either, just hate qualifiers....

    and fyi: it's billy conigliaro that's the red sox player on it.

    I think so based on this card:

    eBay PSA 4 (MC)

    I think it would either grade as "AUTHENTIC" or as a PSA 2 (MC) or PSA 3 (MC). It doesn't appear in PSA 1 condition to me. I don't think they will allow it to be encapsulated without the qualifier. They don't necessarily keep the qualifier off even if you ask for it. I think this card is definitely deserving of the qualifier.

    and this card is not yet on eBay being advertised as INCREDIBLY RARE with an insane price tag, why?

    yes it is most deserving of the mc, however I did not know that if you request "no qualifiers" that they could still put it on there. hence the word "request", I guess....

    because I'm not fond of the new 180 right to return policy!

    It has always been my understanding that they will honor the request if they can. If, however, a card appears severe enough to definitely warrant the qualifier, I think they would add it regardless of the request. I could be wrong though but my money would be on them adding the qualifier.

    This is how I would likely grade it if I were them. Although in this case I think I would insist on the qualifier.

    With qualifier:
    PSA 2 (MC) or PSA 3 (MC)

    Without qualifier (drop grade 1-2 points):
    PSA 1

    I'd be happy with all, really. but if I could make a request, I would go w/ the straight psa 1.

    They won't honor requests in situations where the qualifier is obvious.

    Example: card has significant writing on the back. It will get a MK qualifier, even if you request no.

    I am not sure about this case - but the MC is pretty clear.

    Also, it is a Poor 1 to begin with. People saying it would grade a PSA 3 if it wasn't MC are being too generous.

    Could'nt help but notice the irony in the card. Rose eventually played the Sox in the World Series. Coincidence or mystical workings within that cardboard.image

    I would request the AUTHENTIC grade, it would avoid the qualifiers you don't want but also would present better imo. That's a neat card.
