Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Paul,<br /><br />You pose a very relevant question! I agree with you that postally-used cards should be graded in a more lenient manner when it comes to cancellation markings. It's an entirely different story if a pen stroke is so heavy that it affects the verso of a PC. When first issued, these items were fully intended to be utilized in this fashion. The grading of said should not suffer so tremendously as a result.<br /><br />I do want to re-state that, as I am not a card (or in this case) postcard collector, my opinions/observances follow the course of logic rather than knowledge or experience. It never hurts to ask about topics of which you aren't fully informed.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Paul, I agree: it's one thing if a card is marked when it wasn't supposed to be marked; totally different on a postcard. I also find some of the writing on cards interesting. Let's put it this way, all things being equal I'd rather have a postcard written on than a blank-backed baseball card stamped with the owner's name and address.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br /><br />Thanks Jodi and Tim. I think it will look alot better in an SGC holder. Those crappy PSA holders really are not good news with the card just sliding around in there.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Although I do have more friends at PSA, I too have to admit a personal affinity for the aesthetically-pleasing SGC holder.

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Dan:<br /><br />I have seen some 1.5's and even 2's with writing on them as long as it doesn't detract tremendously from the overall appearance of the card. Since these are so large and the player's name is pre-printed, the handwritten years and position do not make a huge negative impact on the card's presentation.

Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>Yeah, you can read about my "PC Discovery" in my other thread I started.
