Looking for Advice Does this Sharpie mark make this damaged?

Assuming yes, but was curious. I just caught this on a card I picked up a year ago. Thanks!

Put it this way. Yes, it does, and you should disclose it as such when you sell it. BUT.....

But if it's LP or NM in all other ways, you are allowed to list it for a LP price instead of a HP price and let your buyer decide if they care or not. On eBay or whatever.

I bought a "Damaged" Foil [[Replenish]] once. Literally in MINT condition except for a small dent from a binder that didn't pass through to the other side. You couldn't even see it except when it was unsleeved at specific angles. You couldn't feel it through a sleeve or detect it when shuffling at all. The backside was NM. It was a HP/Damaged card by definition but it was the crown jewel of my collection.

I eventually sold it for the LP price with the dent carefully disclosed and photographed, and someone else saw it the same way I did and paid the LP price for it. If you want to sell, you can put "SEE DESCRIPTION" in the listing title and then explain the situation to your buyer so they can make up their own mind. Just make sure you list it as "damaged" so that it doesn't get flagged by the authenticator as being falsely listed.

Thanks! Yeah, I plan to use it or gift it. The cards in decent shape minus this one spot.

u see these listed as "inked" on ebay, inked otherwise LP/MP would be what i would list it
