How does a mark affect a card's grade?
I'm just now getting into graded vintage, and my LCS has a 1955 Topps Kaline that looks awesome. In fact, I asked them to take it out of the case so I could get a look at it. I was hoping to buy it with intent to grade. However, upon inspection, it's got the letter "Y" written on the front in ink. The card overall would probably grade a 6 if not for that mark.
So how does a mark affect the grade? Will it knock all the way down to like a 1-2 even though the rest of the card looks good? Will it only knock it down a point or 2? If it gets, say, a 6 grade but with an MK designation, does that mean it's really a 4? Just trying to figure out of I want to buy the card and sub it. It's really, really sharp. So just curious.
