E95 Plank--PWCC auction

[ls7plus]

Personally, I think it would be quite interesting to examine it under a 16X loupe to see if the "A" is consistent with the card's other printed characteristics (the glass is half-full?).

Just sayin'.

Best wishes,

I always thought this would have graded higher but whomever submitted it (before I got it) chose not to have the MK hence the 2.5. The little check mark on the back, near the bottom right side, is hard to miss?

Very nice card from my perspective, Leon. Congrats on it!

Highest regards,

Larry

Nice card, Leon.
The big difference, Leon, is that I WOULD buy your card with a mark (and a LOWER grade than the aforementioned Plank card in the original post), if it were for sale, but I would not buy the altered Plank that received a higher grade. Just sayin'...

There is still some confusion about requesting no qualifiers. Please read post #29. It is a screen shot from PSAs website, "there are certain qualifiers that PSA will not remove such as MK."

It's right there in black and white. You cannot request no qualifiers when the card has a mark. If you see a card that has a mark but has no MK qualifier, PSA simply overlooked the mark.

Nice card, Leon. PSA missed the check mark. As for the card itself, it has several minor creases to warrant the grade of 2.5. The proper grade would have been PSA 2.5 MK

There are no half grades with qualifiers. Either one or the other. Here is the marked card that PSA just gave a straight 5.

As you can see, it has red scribble marker on the jersey and "blood tears" in both eyes. I was floored when it popped as an unqualified card. I think their website is wrong, and they do downgrade cards to remove MK qualifiers.

Kind of like there's no half grades with qualifiers, huh?

Lots of misinformation in this thread. I blame it all in PWCC

There are no creases or wrinkles that I can see under magnification. Try another answer please. Personally I think whomever submitted it got it done without the MK and a lower grade because of it. I know what their site says...

Look at the back. Right above "GEORGE" is a crease. Everything below "GOUDEY GUM CO. BOSTON" has many spider wrinkles.

A PSA 2.5 is accurate given the creases. I'm not knocking the card. I would love to own it. But it is graded accurately.
