Send them that as a question to get their answer. The level of qualifier also depends on the grade that is given, and whether damage could/should be expected at that level. It's possible the ones you saw the ST mark on were high grade cards, while the non-ST cards were PSA 2/3 or so. Same thing goes for OC. OC only plays on cards that are PSA5 and up or so, since after that, they accept a wide variety of off-centeredness.
