Every once in a while, I'll search "PSA 9 OC" or PSA 8 OC" on eBay. It's a good way to pick up some bargains (maybe one out 10 passes the eye appeal test for me). Just picked up this nice 1970 Luis Aparicio (PSA 9 OC) for $7.40.

    It's nice not being addicted to the registry drug isn't it? imageimage

    Great looking card despite the centering.
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the PSA 10 collector he didn't exist.

    I like 9OC. You get a mint card as long as you don't mind the centering.

    Mapleleaf: Agreed. Befiore the days of third party grading, I don't think people paid that much attention to centering. I will take four sharp corners (on a card, not the seller of PSA 10 cards) over perfectly centered every time.

    I've been doing this more and more. I sold a nice 9 of Brett rookie I wish I had back.
    70 and 71 are great for 9 oc. Nice pick up.

    I'm not too hung up on centering if the card has nice color and corners.
