“Factory” marker pen

[edd_jedi]

This may have been asked before but couldn't find anything in a search. What is the stance on marker pen applied by factories or distributors etc such as this by graders?

My understanding is factory applied by Palitoy once they extended the offer date

If it's a known factory applied ink then it's grade worthy as far as I know. I've got a MOC that has black ink marker applied by the shop, a circle around the price tag and AFA graded it.

Best thing is to message the graders first.

If it's covering up damage then it's a no go.

That should be fine as far as I know, but it would be worth contacting UKG before submission.

As said contact grader in first instance to get a steer, but common sense prevailing if it's factory applied the should be all good
