Is this card OC top to bottom or would it fall in line with PSA 8 centering. It seems like I have seen some 8's centered this way with
72 Topps baseball. The top to bottom centering is not to distracting to me personally on 71's and 72's if not extreme and centered
nicely left to right. Thanks for your replies.

    It's pretty close, but I'd say it's centered enough to be a PSA 8.

    This one is an 8, while this one is an 8 OC.

    The Mays card does seem to be centered the same while the 8 OC Carew does seem to be slightly centered
    higher than the Carew I have pictured which, btw, is in a PSA 9 OC holder. Anymore thoughts please?

    Centering should be measured at the peak of the arch at the top of the card. Using a digital ruler, I'm getting 70-30. If that's accurate, that means it's at the outer most guideline for PSA 8 centering. Since it's a 9OC, that might compensate for the centering being in the 'gray area' range for an 8.

    Ok guys, thanks for the info. If the card was busted out and sent in with a no qualifier request would it grade a 8 or a 7?
