My immediate thought when looking at that card was that it had to be one offered by 4SC. I did an ebay search and poof I was correct. Another fine example of a card that would receive an 8OC or a 7 if submitted by anyone else.

".......Another fine example of a card that would receive an 8OC or a 7 if .........."
The biggest argument in support of that position may be this:
There is not one person on this board, who would bat an eye, or raise a question, if they saw that card for sale with an (OC) on the flip. The reason for that is that the card appears to DESERVE the qualifier.
Not a totally ugly card, though. The OCs do not bother me much, but I want to pay the "correct" price for the item.
("65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front," says PSA grading standard.) I do not see the 30. Looks less than 25.
I do not feel like counting dots, but maybe somebody should. It might have barely made it, appearance notwithstanding. But, my eye tells me "no."

i'm not so sure it's a matter of favoritism... i'm not what you would consider a large submitter, and i didn't get an OC qualifier on this card, which i will admit it probably deserved.. the corners got it a 7... i know it's not the same card but IMO it shows that little guys get breaks sometimes too...
That 7 might have just made it, if it is "approximately" 75/25. (Maybe it was not "a break.")
PSA might do well to consider dumping the weasel word "approximately," when they spell out the standards. "Approxiamtely 75/25," does not really explain what the "standard" is. Does it mean 80/20? 78/22? I dunno.

<< <i>Stone; How do you know it was a large submission? Can you tell by the serial numbers? >>
I have had some "issues" with the 814/815... submissions numbers. It is a rather inexperienced grader (assumedly) that does grade large BULK submissions (fact).
In short, when you see 814/815, it suggests a bulk submission.....
then again, maybe they do hate me..... this is the rc of the guy that scored an own-goal at the US world cup in 1994 and went home to colombia and got shot and killed by the drug cartel because they lost a lot of money betting.. anyway, i've never been able to figure out why this is a THREE...

I'd pass on that example. or if needed, I'd buy it at a greatly reduced price.

Before you post your scan, reduce the image size and that should clear up the cross-hatch patterns.

This was a rather large submission - either the guy got crosseyed looking at them or somewhere is a perfectly good 8 that has an OC?

I was wondering why my '33 Ruth with rounded corners and a wrinkle got an 8. It must've been a mix-up. Sorry man.
