E95 Plank--PWCC auction

There appears to be something (ink or whatever) in the same color above and to the left of the letter A. I don't think the factory printed it that way.

The card does look nicer than a 3, assuming there are no faint creases or anything we can't see in the scans.

Maybe it was submitted as a "no qualifier" card, so instead of getting a PSA 5 (MK), it got a PSA 3?

I probably would've graded it a 4, but wouldn't be the ugliest 5 I've ever seen by any stretch.

I suppose it's plausible, but I tend to think PSA would not give that card a 5 based on the corners.

I didn't think you could request "no qualifiers" on cards with marks?

Ah, not sure, so you certainly could be right....

I thought - at least at some point in the past - that there was an option to have the card graded without a qualifier. Here's another example below, with a pencil mark on the right border:

Looks like a PSA 3 (MK) or PSA 4 (MK). Possibly it's a straight 3 because of a "no qualifier" request, but I think with that much corner wear and with the stamp being as subtle as it is it's more likely they just missed it. Wouldn't bother me much either way, as I like period stamps on my cards; but I guess if no one else does I could get the card cheaper than $700.
