Default What does the PSA qualifier "PD" mean?

Posted By: Marc S.

As long as the card was sold accurately to you wherever you purchased it (e.g. as a PSA 8 qualifed PD), then you should not have gotten ripped off.

For those who purchase PSA-graded cards, they know that PD means print defects -- often the exact problem that you are describing. As such, it should realize approximately the same amount in the future.

Whether your like qualifers or do not -- basically it is a way to acknowledge that your card has otherwise superior corners and centering -- but it has one flaw that makes it worse.

There's a world of opinion out there -- but if you have a vending fresh card that is 90/10 both ways, some may prefer to have the card in a PSA 9 O/C (for Off/Center) holder, whereas others might prefer to have it in a PSA 3 holder, as a card with 90/10 centering cannot achieve better than PSA 3 without the qualifier...
