PSA 8 (OC?) Rose RC... Is this really OC? *UPDATED FRONT AND BACK PICS*

Sean1125

This is the best and only scan I have... From what you can see (not numerical grade wise) does this deserve the OC qual?

Wondo

The front looks to be within tolerance - can we see a scan of the back please?

Sean1125

Don't have a back scan but I'm told it is clean... I am told it is as good as the front though.

Dang, How old is that flip ?

Card isnt OC, Someone fell asleep with that one.

If the flip is good (I am not really up on that stuff) it does beg some question. Might be a deal; might be a scam.

Bosox1976 had the same issue with two '74 Winfields (old flips) and did very well when cracked and sent in. This may be the case with this card if indeed is the real deal. Doug

I have no doubt the card is real, he has many many many cards that are higher than this, just wanted to ask about this one in particular because the flip is really old...

divecchia

Older flip, but does not OC to me.

Probably a very nice opportunity if you can get in for 6 money.

Perhaps in the very early days of PSA there was a different purpose for putting OC on the flip. Maybe they put OC simply to indicate centering is what kept it away from a 9, and not necessarily for the same purpose the qualifier is used today.
That's just a guess. Regardless, the Q doesn't belong on this card. In fact, centering looks within 9 tolerances to me.

I wonder if the grader who graded this card thought the upper border of the card was the top of the "1963 Rookie Stars"? That's the only way I could see this card getting the OC qualifier. Even then, the grader was flat out wrong.

Still, I'd want a better pic of the front and back of this card before pulling the trigger.

doesn't look OC to me

Sean ... as far as the front of that card is concerned ... NO WAY is it O/C.

Stone193

If the card can be picked up at OC price, it would be a steal IMO.

The card looks centered to me.

Dpeck100

I think Hammered's logic makes a lot of sense. Very nice card either way.

twiley

The front of the card looks well centered to me.

Any idea what the back looks like? Maybe the back is why PSA gave the card the OC qualifier?

If you buy that card - send it to PSA for review in the holder. It'll be a way of insuring that there hasn't been tampering. With a high value card like that, cracking it out can only cause problems...authenticity etc. If it's in the PSA holder when they see it, you're much more likely to not go through any nonsense, in my opinion.

I agree...

Card appears to be almost perfectly centered to me, unless top to bottom centering is off. I am betting that there was a mix up at PSA.

Piggs

After seeing the closer scan, I neither think it is OC or a "8". It might be a 7 at best with the two upper corners dinged. Doug

handyman

How did that card being one of ther first ever graded last that long in that case. That is very very rare that you see something that undergraded in a case like that.

stevek

That's a puzzler - Doesn't appear to be a compromised holder and no scammer would likely use an OC flip...that would minimize the scam payoff.

Just a total guess that the card was graded in the early days of PSA and for "some reason" received an OC...but the card obviously isn't an 8 anyway...more like a 6.5 in my opinion.

CrazyMind2017

I think it's a solid 7. The top corners prevent it from grading any higher, but the dings aren't actually that bad. It just seems that way because of the contrast between the white corners and the baby blue background.
