I love marked cards. I can get a nice card with a little ink on the back for a nice discount.I just crack it after because I don’t like the grade. I want it to enjoy and look at. I will not buy OC unless it’s the reverse giving it that, simply because I just don’t like them graded or not. Different strokes for different folks.

Since we're talking about marks on cards and grading, for those out there sensitive to owning cards with marks you're going to want to check anything SGC 2.5 or below closely because they allow them through the 2's.

Here's a thread I started many years ago that starts a little slowly (or has a different focus?), but then finds its footing as a (fun?) Guess which card has an OC qualifier? 'contest.'
