Will Card be Ungradeable

[Archive]

Posted By: Todd (nolemmings)

It is a question of intent and appearance. If someone is trying to mask a flaw with ink, it will likely be rejected. If the appearance makes it look like someone has tried to mask it, it will likewise be rejected, even if the mark somehow "innocently" got there. If it does not mask, then it is likely considered a flaw that will lead to a downgrade or qualifier (depending on what grading service you use), but should be graded.

As for your quote:
<The card is actually a 54 Aaron rookie and even though this is a pre war forum the grading would still apply to post war cards. I'm trying to learn quickly and am currently buying 54 and older cards.>

Hey, lots of us collect post-war stuff too. If you have questions about or scans of cool stuff from the 50's, feel free to post them here.
