I know PSA will have a qualifier, but I have not seen qualifiers on SGC or CSG; although I am newer to the hobby.

Comments very welcomed, Reed

A picture of the card would help people give you meaningful answers. CSG is so new there is no real history of crossing cards yet.

CSG is pretty strict on ultra-modern cards receiving 10 grades, but they're pretty lenient on vintage stuff from what I've seen. 8.5s that look like PSA 7s, cards with creases getting 5s and 6s. They're more similar to BSG/BVG than they are to PSA.

1) No real way to tell on any specific card without high resolution back and front photos/scans.

2) You should be concerned about cards in *all* grading company holders. Read threads on Blowout or here to learn more. CSG hired two top BVG graders right, so they may have seen this card and you might have a little more trust it's unaltered.

3) While PSA has a PD qualifier, they have recently announced they will barely use it anymore, along with other qualifiers that are NOT MC or MK. So if a card has print defects worthy of awarding a PD qualifier to, they'll more likely be docked two number grades instead.
