Default What does the PSA qualifier "PD" mean?

Posted By: Todd (nolemmings)

Personally, I don't mind some light snow if the card otherwise presents well, especially since a PD qualifier usually makes the card available for a fraction of the non-blemished version. If a card is going to be flawed, I prefer the factory flaws of PD or OC- even ST when the flaw is a gumstain, sometimes on the back-- to soft corners and worn edges.

I find PSA to be inconsistent on the PD issue- some are very unobtrusive, and on other occasions, there will be glaring "bubbles" or a fish eye on a card that does not receive the qualifier. Sometimes I even have asked the seller for a description when I have failed to see what they consider to be a print defect. Bottom line, though, any qualifier raises a flag, and you should ask for a better scan or explanation if you think its going to be something you don't want to live with.
