To Crack or Not to Crack?
I would leave it, but that card doesn’t bother me. I still think many people would go for a straight 5 over a qualified 7.
Qualifiers suck, but they can be very informative. I took a chance a few years ago on a ‘58 Mantle / Aaron that was a straight 2, but looked like a 5 on the front with a very clean surface and almost no print damage. Turns out it had some light album residue on the back, and the submitter had obviously requested no qualifiers. No creases, clearly not your typical “2” quality. My guess if they had not done that with no qualifiers, is that it would have been graded a 5 MK or ST.
