How will these affect the grade? Opinions please (Photos inside)

I put specific questions on each pic, could you please give your opinion on each please? thank you....

Will psa give a qualifier of a printer defect for this?

image
This is behind the topps bird/magic rookie card, a lot of these cards on the back have these rips
made on the edge of the card, would these drop the grade one point down? For instance, if it is a psa 7,
would it drop it down to a psa 6 or is it so bad, it would go all the way down to a 5?

image
That corner is not a tiny touch, but a bigger one, let's say it's a psa 9 card, would that drop it down to a psa 8
or will that kind of corner drop it down to a psa 7 or 6?

image
There's a tiny brown spot. Probably because mildew or foxing. or moisture got on it, and after years, it turned light brownish.
My question is, would that get a qualifier?

image
There's some browning. Looks like someone touched it with moist fingers years ago.
Will it get a qualifier ST from psa? What do you think?

image
This Marino has a bit of a tilt. Will Psa allow a tiny tilt or will they make it a qualifier of MC?
Let's say I put NQ, will they drop it one grade?

image
If this is a psa 9 card, what would that corner make it? Psa 8 or 7?

image
Would Psa give a qualifier for this spot?

image
If this is a psa 9 card, would that corner drop it to a 8 or 7?

Thank you.
Thanks for your help everyone.

    - The back smudges on the 86 Fleer are common and PSA usually doesn't kill you for them. It might stop a card from being a 10, but I've seen many 9s with the smudge.
    - The back gouge on 70s-80s Topps will usually knock a card down to a 6, but I've seen it where PSA missed it and the card is a 9.
    - The white corner touches aren't too bad and a card can easily be a 9 if the card is otherwise perfect. If the card is OC and has the touch it's probably an 8.
    - The tiny brown spot on the 77 and the slight browning on the back of the 80 Topps will usually not affect the grade.
    - The tilt on the Marino is common and won't get a qualifier.



  • That cdnut guy sure seems to know his stuff (or is a good pretender anyway)
