PSA 9 OC vs. PSA 8

I currently have a PSA 9 OC 1952 Topps high number for sale on eBay. In looking at it I was wondering if maybe it could get a straight PSA 8 if resubmitted. It appears there may be some slight tilting but everything else is near perfect. I am curious as to what others think.

    What does the back look like? If it is also O/C, it looks to be a straight 7 IMO. BTW, thats's a pretty old flip. image

    I think, if the back is centered, it has a decent shot of being a somewhat ugly 8.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    the back is the key. The front isn't that horribly O/C. The tag is old looking to me, might get lower than an 8. I think PSA grades harder now, not everyone agrees with me however.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    Sell it to DSL, and it is guaranteed to come back a PSA 8 if not a PSA 9. Sell it to a collector and the card comes back a PSA 7.

    IMO,

    Yes, the flip is old. Similar to the flip on the 34 Goudey PSA 8 I also have on eBay right now.

    The back is not centered, but is pretty close to 90/10. I do think the card is accurately graded, but I was just curious since the front isn't *too* OC.

    Either way, I think it's a great pose and nice bright background!

    Thanks,

    I like it, i think you would get a nice premium over a straight 7, maybe even closer to an PSA 8 value.

    I wouldnt resumit.

    Psa 9 OC's seem to get very little respect regardless of the problem on the card.

    Consider this PSA 9 '53 Bowman Campanella....

    $380 for a PSA 9 OC

    That's less than the 7 price for 70/30 centering (give or take a few points).

    The Yvras looks like a decent 8.

    This card will not be resubmitted by me since it is up for auction already but I was just curious if it had potential. I am happy with the traffic to the auction and the bidding so far. SMR in 7 is something like $275 so it's getting close. It has an incredible amount of watchers so I am hoping for a premium.

    Thanks for the opinions.
