When
a card is
submitted
to PSA for
grading,
PSA
authenticates
the card,
and then
assigns a
numerical
grade to
the card
based on a
10 point
scale. In
addition
to the
numerical
grade a
qualifier
may also
be added
when a
card's
overall
quality is
drastically
reduced by
an
otherwise
minor
defect.
Incorporating
qualifiers
into the
actual
grade will
enable a
person
that is
not
viewing
the card,
a very
good idea
as to the
overall
quality of
the card.
Most
people
prefer to
collect
"clean"
un-qualified
graded
cards. If
you don't
mind the
particular
defect
that the
qualifier
implies,
then the
significant
reduction
in prices
for the
qualified
card will
be
appreciated.
Ultimately
the final
and most
important
assessment
of a cards
grade is
the final
customer.
PSA has
been
developed
based on
what the
vast
majority
of
collectors
and
dealers
expect. It
is up to
you to
determine
if the
card is
acceptable
to you,
regardless
of the
grade. Our
policy is,
you get
it, you
like it,
you keep
it. If
not, it
can be
returned
for a
refund or
trade up
to a nicer
grade
card.

PD
-
An
otherwise
8
quality
card
with
manufacturer's
printing
defects
that
are
too
noticeable
to
allow
for
an
un-qualified
grade.
Depending
on
the
severity
of
the
print
defects,
the
card
may
qualify
as
an
un-qualified
7
grade
card. |

MK
-
An
otherwise
8
quality
card
which
has
had
some
form
of
writing
or
stray
pen
or
pencil
marks.
A
card
with
such
marks
would
receive
this
qualifier
regardless
of
the
grade. |

OF
-
An
otherwise
8
quality
card
that
has
been
printed
with
improper
registration
of
the
various
colors,
resulting
in
a
blurry
or
out
of
focus
picture
quality.
Depending
on
the
overall
appearance,
the
card
may
grade
un-qualified
at
a
lower
grade. |

ST
-
An
otherwise
8
quality
card
that
either
has
a
stain
of
some
sort
or
has
severe
toning
not
acceptable
at
that
grade.
The
stain
can
be
wax
or
gum
on
the
front
or
back
of
the
card.
The
stain
can
also
be
water,
coffee,
tea,
etc.
Depending
on
the
nature
of
the
stain
the
card
could
go
un-qualified
at
a
lower
grade. |

OC
-
An
otherwise
8
quality
card
that
has
been
cut
too
off-center
to
qualify
for
a
"clean"
grade.
Depending
on
how
bad
the
centering
is,
the
card
may
receive
an
un-qualified
grade
at
the
next
lowest
grade
which
would
allow
for
the
centering
measurement.
The
centering
requirements
for
each

If

then
it

to
ask
for
a
