   If a card would make a PSA 8 or 9 but has a small pin head size ink mark on the back how much does that kill the grade from PSA? Will it have a PD? What are the pros and cons of getting a NQ?

   I think Bosox is right unless it may be a 9, then they make take another close look.

   50/50 that PSA graders would even catch that. Send it in.

   << <i>What are the pros and cons of getting a NQ? >> Hi Jim The MK qualifier is a deal stopper for cards in the 50s IMO - except perhaps a Mantle RC or something. Now, in the prewar stuff - I think people are more forgiving - at least that's my experience. To add, e.g., the OC qualifier has really caused values to drop…

   Then it is very possible it will get a MK qualifier if the grader thinks it is after factory. Steve
