Going to submit 50 cards to PSA this month, all 1963 Topps. I need them to all be 7's or better. I on the fence with this card and I need the experts to let me know.

For sure you are looking at an oc qwualifier even in a 7.
that said is it worth even to send in?

Unless there is something on the front that makes it OC, that back falls within guidelines for an 8.

Good Luck

<< <i>Nice card...I think your likely to get an 8OC if you don't specify no qualifiers. If you do, I think they will grade it a 6 for centering.
Good Luck

Jeff, I'm legitmately curious about that. The centering standards for the back are the same 90/10 for anything from an 8 down to a 1, so it can't be the back centering that knocks that card down, unless we're saying that PSA doesn't consistently apply that 90/10 standard.
Is that card not better than 70/30 on the front? Not trying to be argumentative; just trying to learn the vagaries of the various years.

If I were in your position I would not submit it (but best of luck if you do).

<< <i>bking...back is fine but front is centered 73/27 top to bottom when I measure it. Nice card but don't think it gets a straight 7.
Jeff >>
Thnaks, the "bleed to the edge" color band isn't something I've spent much time measuring. For the most part, I was assuming that if the white border at the top matched the borders on the side then it probably measured within standards. For me as a non-collector of 63's, that's what I'd expect a centered one to look like.
