Qualifier grade equivalents

I searched for this topic and found nothing.
What is the rule of thumb for qualifier value? Is a PSA 8 (OC) the equivalent in value to a PSA 7.5 or 7....?
Can the same be applied to the ST qualifier (and others)?
Does the particular card matter? In my case it is a 1961 Fleer Bill Russell PSA 8 OC and Elgin Baylor PSA 8 ST.
Thank you..

A o/c knocks it down 2 grades 7 (price range) . If you request no qualifiers a 9 oc becomes a 7. 8oc a 6. etc. dont know too much about ST or PD
"Does the particular card matter?" If a set is known for stains "Fleer basketball stickers" or if a player from the set is commonly found off center due to sheet placement. I think buyers are more accepting of OC/ST.
It all depends on the card. Lately that Russell, for example, has been trading somewhere between a 3 and a 4. @1959 has an answer that corresponds to the value in registry sets, though I believe at some point it switches to a one grade deduction.

Wouldn't it depend on the actual centering measurement of the 8 (OC) card? ie. if it was 75/25 then it would be worth a PSA 7, if it was 80/20 then a 6, and so forth...
A straight grade would be assigned if it could get within one grade of the qualifier on OCs, so centering would have to be worse than minimums for a 7 on an 8(OC).
