   I have just seen my second PSA graded card with a small pen mark that is not qualified with the (MK) qualifier. In both cases the mark is quite noticeable, so it wasn't overlooked by the grader. In on case, it's on the white border of the card. One of the cards is one I sent in myself and I know the mark was not there when…

   I don't know about graders holding uncapped pens while they grade, but I know I once had a 56 Mantle with a tiny black dot on the white border, graded PSA 8. No way it was a 9 without the dot, so must be that one tiny dot does not necessarily bring the dreaded qualifier.

   God, you'd think they'd have the decency to break the cards out, liquid paper them and re-slab. Where has common grading card company courtesy gone? I'm still trying to figure out how I submitted a mint 1953 Bowman set and got back 400 PSA 7 1975 Greg Mintons. Best, S.

   No but chalk it up to a "mechanical" mistake. Thats what they call it. I submitted a Callahan that I know did NOT have a corner dink. Yet when it came back it did. It did not take from the grade (that I can tell), but I would have never submitted it because it was that obvious. Whe I questioned them about it I was told to…

   You got the 9 because Joe has devil hair and a steely gaze.

   << <i>I've got two 1975 unqualified PSA 9's with bigger problems than that. What's worse is that I sent them in to PSA to be re-evaluated and they said that globs of crap are part of the printing process. >> Really? Hmmm. So if I send in my PSA 9 PD cards with "snow" and explain that "globs of crap are part of the printing…
