Impact of the MC and/or MK designation

Me, too. I don't own one with a qualifier. Yuck.

Just curious why this card didn't get a qualifier:

Because all you have to do is check the "no qualifier" box when you submit to PSA and you'll get a lower grade instead of a Q.

... assuming the grade is high enough to permit a lower grade (a 1.5 with writing on it is a 1.5(MK) whether you want the MK or not).

Justin,

Thank you. I only have ever had one card submitted for grading which happened at the National in Atlantic City last year. I don't recall anything about a qualifier, but that's my memory for you.

Given the subjectiveness and inaccuracies involved with grading, I pay very close attention to MC & MK qualifiers and will buy T206s with them.

I just love buying a T206 with a wet sheet transfer that came from the factory that way and a TPG gives it a MK.

The same can be said about a T206 with an American Beauty back that a TPG labels as MC.

MK usually worth more as those cards have a habit of being 'improved' and re-submitted versus a MC
