Opinions wanted on grade. Ryan rookie

Juste received back from PSA. I new the card with the ink would get a MK qualifier but other than the ink, I felt the numeric grade would be higher. I sacaned both Ryans that were sent in on same submission and both received PSA 3 for numeric grade. The card without the MK qualifier has more corner wear and centered worse in my opinion and still got the same grade. Does the MK qualifier also bring the numeric grade down?

Thanks-
Claude

    Not necessarily, but often a MK is tiny and doesn't detract from the card, or it's on the back. Your "MK" is multiple marks and would definitely lower the technical grade of the card. Imagine a mustache and beard drawn on a card--that would lower an otherwise NM card to a PSA 1(MK).

    Your 3 looks very close to my 4.
  • The card was drawn on in multiple places. Does the number grade really matter?

    I did not catch the ink in the team name circle the first time I looked at that card.

    Did you request a "No O/C" qualifier on the unmarked card?

    No I didn't request no qualifiers.

    I actually think you did pretty decent on the grades. Still, nice looking cards. Enjoy.

    Not necessarily, but indentations caused by the writing can impact the surface grade. Imagine if the ink wasn't there, but the indentations caused by the pen were, then add the MK for the ink. There are plenty of examples of 6 & 7 MKs on eBay, these are typically in pencil with no indentation.
