Default All Graded 4s are clearly not equal......

Not just 1 Mark (MK) but I counted almost 50.....yes 50 separate characters that were written on this card. Do they have a "Someone wrote a book" qualifier?

Poor Matty. I feel bad for him in this slab.

I dunno, doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. It looks like a 4, besides the marks. Some people might not mind those marks that much, I personally don't. If it ever came to market people will see it and pay what they want.

Appreciate your opinion but I feel it's clearly not a 4. Not even close. Thanks!

To each their own!

It should be slabbed as "PSA 4 MKL" (for the Roman numeral for 50).

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Even had the writing not been added, the staining should have kept the grade below 4.

Card was graded probably 20 years under a much different interpretation of their standards.

It’s an older slab - hence an older grade. Probably a four when PSA originally graded it. However, it’s not a four under today’s standards. That is nowhere near a $10k card.

If that's graded today, my guess would be PSA 2mk.

When it was first listed it was $1999. I passed but thought that was a decent price. 12 hours later it’s $10k lol.
I guess if it doesn’t sell for x, then raise the price until it does.
Logical, I think not!

PSA qualifiers are stupid.

A 4 MK grade is like saying "This would be a 4 if it didn't have War and Peace written on the back. Aside from the pen and ink marks, its a solid 4".

Well then, it ain't a 4.
