Who said there were no 75/25 PSA 8s?

I was thumbing through Joe's book and there it was - take a look at the '48 Leaf Feller card. How on Earth did that get an 8?

I dunno

I made the comment the other day regarding 75/25 PSA 9's, after someone said we had all seen them. I asked for a pic, but have not seen one yet.

However, I have to admit that the Feller card is might off center for an 8.

Buck - I agree that I'd never seen an 8 that badly centered. Until that one. I guess that makes one.

Someone said there are 75/25 9s out there? I thought they were talking about 8s. That's just silly. There are no 9s that are even 65/35 that I've ever seen

Here's a 1954 Banks Rookie PSA-9 which is OC 80/20 top to bottom.

In my opinion I'd rather have a well centered 8 in my 61 Topps set than a poorly centered 9 any day!

I don't have exact measurements but I've seen plenty of 9's that I wouldn't have in my set because of poor centering. Worse than most of the 8's I see out there for some reason.

Anyone else observe this?

How about this recent grading? I have passed on numerous 1961 PSA 9s that I would frankly rather have a nicely centered version in a PSA 8 holder.

Buckwheat,
I have one. I PSA 9 that I estimated at 78/22. It is otherwise clean and I paid less for it than SMR for an 8 at the time. I have thought of re-submitting and taking the insurance but then I would have to buy another "9". It is on my list to replace albeit at a low prioirity. My scanner is still in the box and I do not have a few hours to work it all out at this point but if you will send me an email address, I will be glad to make you a photocopy and mail it. OH GOD, How low tech.

OK, I meant email me a mailing address.

Buckwheat · March 24, 2004 11:14AM

Hubcap---That is one ugly OC card. If I sold you that one, please return for refund or exchange.

On the other hand, I measured as best I could from scan, and I get 62/38 L/R and 68/32 T/B, both within "legal limits" for an 8.

Here is lingk to original comment by HammerinHank, responded to by yours truly regarding 75/25 PSA 9's.

PSA 9's 75/25

That 61 Piersall ticks me off. I just had a 64 Topps and 68 Topps Mantle both get the dreaded PSA 8 o/c. The centering on both was better!!!

Who said there were no 75/25 PSA 8s?
