This is a case where PSA is clueless.
The unmarked ones are obvious, but many countries, especially places like this make a lot of money selling stamps to collectors. In most cases, the "cancelled" stamps will have full gum on the reverse, and have never been on a piece of mail. They're what's called cancelled to order. If you know how, you can buy thousands at a time all "cancelled". Sometimes the "cancel" is actually printed on as part of the design. Something presented as issued shouldn't be stuck with a modifier or downgraded for something that was there from the beginning. |

Thank you so much (they do seem like "pre-printed" postmarks with no sign of actual use, as discussed) to everyone for all of your thoughts! Jeff

I just got a 1915 Cracker Jack card graded PSA 1 MK. I always find it silly that they even bother to put that qualifier on a PSA 1 card. That being said it was my understanding that they were going to phase them out.

I understand qualifiers on manufacturing imperfections like PD, OC, MC. Never understood the logic for MK or ST that denote after production damage just like a crease or corner wear. It’s always funny on a 1 where it’s doubly absurd.

But if I'm reading it correctly, the impetus behind no longer allowing "no qualifiers" requests was a general shift in the policy around qualifiers, to use them very sparingly. In effect, it was no longer really necessary to request "no qualifiers", because that feature comes standard, more or less. Although I suppose we can always debate what constitutes "in the best interests of the card" when it comes to when PSA actually does decide to apply a qualifier. As far as I'm aware, cards don't really have best interests. But maybe I just haven't gotten into the game with anthropomorphizing my cards.
