    Would like a better scan, but from the one provided, NO! Seems to be chipping on the bottom, too OC, and some snow too?

    I could see NM 7, but never an 8.

    If it was perfect all other ways maybe I could overlook the centering but there is chipping on the bottom of the card and the lower right corner looks dinged.

    I wouldn't buy it as an 8, maybe it technically falls into that grade but to me the eye appeal along with the damaged border and corners wouldn't cut it for me.

    I know they are sorta lenient on the centering on the '57's, but I would think this would be more of a 6 or 7. It must have really strong corners......

    PSA 6 at best. But what do I know. I'm no grading expert. I would not buy it for PSA 7 money.

    Hard to tell from the scan, but my best guess would be a 6 or a 7 at best.

    really hard to tell what's going on with the bottom right corner.

    either way, I do not like the centering, particularly for an 8

    I have noticed this on many PSA 8 cards lately, there was a whole batch of 1965's sold by one particular seller (oliva, Conigliaro) that looking at the centering would be a weak 7 but were 8's.

    I wonder if these are being graded by one or two particular grader.

    Its is almost , I take that back, it is 100% laughable.

    However, what this does is eliminates any "griping" about SGC's standard for centering.

    nobody is saying that, but IMO the two companies are basically the same.

    High grade cards, vintage are very similar in price as a whole, not one particular example.

    And IMO the holder for SGC is FAR FAR superior so far as looks go.

    You cant dispute that PSA has taken a step back and has gotten more and more smug.

    The guy that graded that one must of been the same guy who graded the PSA7 59 Robin Roberts I bought on Ebay that had heavy wax stain on the back.

    I agree 100% with Ralph. The chipping on the bottom ... both right corners ... the centering ... all SUCK!

    Grader must have got a paper cut on one of the corners.

    This why there should be an explanation online. I would love to read it because that is a PSA7(OC) at best.

    the centering looks fine to me and is worthy of a psa 8
  • celesterussellcelesterussell Posts: 354 ✭✭
    what? are you the seller of this card?

    I agree that the centering is within PSA 8 standards, but I dont think the card itself is
