Poor Registration

Is it typical that poor registration like this is not penalized by PSA?

    That should be (and usually is) taken into account for the overall grade.

    Have a group of 74 9s that I assumed was a blurry scanner when I bought them but the registration is off on all of them. Didn’t pay a lot and kept them because the scans were accurate that I received. I am not sure what PSA is supposed to do if something isn’t bad enough for them to give a PD but is off a bit.

    It's the first thing I notice every single time. That Mays is extreme, kill it with fire. :D

    didn't they used to have an OF (out of focus) designation?

    I like your picture better than the one being used on eBay right now with the BIN price. That registration is really off -- I wonder if their standards now would knock that down a notch -- or apply some qualifier?

    Yes, they did, but it's very rarely used now. Haven't seen that qualifier in a very long time.

    That’s one of the benefits of PSA’s “Auction Prices Realized” tool...when current eBay auctions have a crappy scan you can sometimes find a better one from a past auction of the same card.
