PSA error question

Haven't been on the boards for a while, I thought I would start back up with a question. I just got a 1975 OPC George Brett graded and it came back as a 9MC. It should be a 9OC. Clearly, it is off centered and there are no marks. How do I go about getting it fixed?

  • Scan?

    And they're usually right (from my limited experience) on the MC and OC.

    Although, in the end it's kind-of a moot point because it's still "valued" as a 7NQ isnt it?

    Post a pic. If a card has worse than 1/99 centering, then it's going to probably get a Miscut (MC) qualifier.


    PSA's customer service is pretty good, give them a call and they'll tell you what you'll need to do.

    Hasn't PSA admitted that Qualifiers are 3 grades lower?

    If the card is OC to the point of any back text missing and/or a portion of another card is visible on the front or back, you'll usually get a MC rather than an OC. As Ot10 mentioned, at the end of the day, it still has the same registry value and I doubt that there will be much difference with regard to resale value.
  • Some cards, even if a bit better than 1/99 are still MC though, like my Yaz...

    They are usually correct on distinguishing MC vs. OC.

    If not they will fix it.

    The market - and the registry - seems to deduct 2 full grades for either Q.

    "Admitted?" They count as -2 from it's grade on the Registry. The market corrects itself accordingly, however there is some exceptions when the card looks to be an easy fit into the next lowest grade.

    I think you guys are missing it. He knows it's off center, and is confusing MC with MK.

    To the OP, MC is miscut, where the off-center involves the border enough to be part of another card.

    MK is the qualifier for marks, writing, etc.


    Like others have said, it doesn't make a big difference in value or registry value.
