How is this a PSA 5 with no qualifier?

presence of the stamp in a uniform way- i.e, stamps drop a grade by 2 full
points, so the card in question could be a PSA 3 without qualifier.

Trent, they definitely “missed the mark” - pun intended, on this one.

I too think that qualifiers are stupid and much prefer the way SGC grades.

PSA missing some ink that should get the MK qualifier and giving the card a straight grade is hardly anything new. My LCS this summer had a nice '63 Aaron, except with pen marks on the back. It was a straight PSA 5.
