1947 Bond Bread Printing Marks - Opinions

[CharleyBrown]

Curious as to your thoughts... I’m trying to determine the mk qualifier on this card. I thought it would be easier to tell once I had it in person, but I’m still on the fence. My thought is that the mark that PSA identified can be found in the top right border. However, I’ve noticed that these Bond Bread cards somewhat commonly had stray printing marks on their borders. I’d love for someone with more knowledge to go into the printing process of these cards, as perhaps that can explain the mk? - Edited: May have identified the mark - I need a closer look via loupe.



With that being said - one last question - which do you like better? I’m torn between the two:



or



Thanks in advance!

This is one of my pet peeves about grading. When I was a PSA member, and sending off cards, I got a couple back MK or Altered but they never tell you what the issue is, and I could never find it.

They could at least say what the MK is.

I finally wised up and quit having cards graded.

I cant see a mark other than what you mention. Awesome card. It'd go with the PSA one over the SGC. Can you keep both?

The PSA card has much better eye appeal.
If you ever attempted to cross it to SGC you would probably get dinged for the significant diamond cut.
