You be the judge OC or not?



This is my first time trying to post an image - if it does not work I am sorry, but you can tell me how to do it for the next time.

    Looks OC to me. does it fit within psa standards? possibly. Remm all psa 8's are not created equally.

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

    Good for you.
  • Looks OC to me as well. I agree with the reduced price possibility.

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

  • I am new, but I thought it looked OC. It is currently on eBay.

    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.

  • Bri - Nice investigative work. Honestly I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for this thing. Currently it's at $66.00

    Even a generous pixel measurement is 70/30 - not an 8 IMO.

    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?

    The corners do look exceptional. maybe that is why it got the grade it did? Imnot an expert on 1970 baseball, but like I said earlier I'd pass.

    Good for you.
  • Stone; How do you know it was a large submission? Can you tell by the serial numbers?

    If it is a 4 sc card then it was from a large submission.

    ".......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.....
  • so ya think it would it be advantageous for submitters to team up so they get the bulk grader?

  • 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...

  • Ben,

    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.

    Ok. I took the image, blew it up a bit, and used my handy Jruler. 32/68. It's an ugly 8, but it's an 8. Who knows, maybe it would have been a 9 o/c.

    The borders on the Clemente seem to look bad on the card, but not that bad when compared together, I think???
