Maybe my eyes are that bad? It works great for me. I wouldn't wholly depend on it, as you still need to examine other attributes of the card. But, it works wonders for edges and corners. I've been able to guess my grades almost 9 times out of 10.

MC qualifiers are not supposed to be removed. Same with MK.

OC or ST would be removed and the grade will slide at least 2 number grades down, depending on the severity of the issue.

Add: Also, if you post pictures, people will be able to better help you. If the ST is from wax on the front of the card, you may be able to wipe it off with a nylon. If it is gum or wax on the back of the card, less likely to be removed without altering the card.

Great. I'm just telling you what PSA themselves tells collectors.

I'm with you. I use 30x and I swear by it. It's nice being pleasantly surprised by grades because I am seeing more flaws instead of bummed out by them because I missed stuff.
