Would you???

If you owned this card would you send it back to PSA to regrade it without the OC qualifier?

No

pab1969

No. I think it is graded accurately. Still a nice card.

DBesse27

Yes. I despise qualifiers. I’d rather have the straight grade.

PSA could solve a lot of problems just by grading such cards, say, "8 (OC) = 4." I wonder if they've ever considered that, and what the reasons not to do it were.

It counts as a 6 right now. Is the idea/hope that it lands higher as a result or you just want a new unqualified slab?

Inquiring minds want to know

would want a straight 6- 7 (high hopes). L/R is find Just off top to bottom and not egregious enough for the qualifier according to the vast majority of cards I have seen

While likely a 6, I agree that 6.5 or even 7 are not outside the realm of possibility.

Edit to add: beautiful card btw!

I love the card. It seems to be graded correctly.

ldferg

Yes. I'm not a fan of the quals. I prefer the grade and take the quals into consideration.

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like qualifiers. It gives a brief description and reason for the grade.

Qualifiers reduce the grade by two, unless they create a number less than one.

PSA 8 (O/C) = PSA 6

I would regrade without qualifiers.

I've been asking the same question for a while now. I had felt ripped off on this 1968 Topps Roberto Clemente grade, but I still haven't submitted to another service elsewhere or resubmitted it back to PSA.

I've even considered why wasn't it a PSA 9OC instead?....of course, that is subjectively based on which side of the bed the grader woke up on that day...lol

Any thoughts are appreciated.

brad31

No.

1959

No also.

I like the 8OC better than a straight 5 or 6. It shows that the surface, corners, registration and sides are all 8 worthy, the only issue is OC. If it was a 5 or 6 I'd be wondering if there are other issues too. Think of it as subgrades 8, 8, 8, 6 with the OC designation. Or a straight 6 with "possibly, but not in this case" 6, 6, 6, 6.

OC top to bottom bothers me way less than OC left to right.

Speaking of reviews, this is in the recent communication:

Note: Crossovers and Review services are excluded from Bulk and Value.

So basically, any reviews must be at the $50 economy level or higher. With that being said and the grading standards being more strict, I would keep that Mantle/Aaron in the current holder.

Wow nice catch. More greed from PSA out in the open. Takes less time, supplies, and other resources to regrade a card, yet they are charging more. lol
