How much of a variation can i expect for an 'OC" qualifier?

Was wondering how much off of an PSA 8 price I can expect. The card in question is a PSA 8 73 Ryan. Perhaps I am looking at the high end in price of what a 7 would be? I would be putting it on ebay probably tonight.

Thanks

I always assume two grades below. An 8OC would be a 6NQ. VCP help anyone?

PSA 6 #220 Ryan

Avg. $16.20

Pretty sure VCP dosen't track cards with qualifiers.

If the overall eye appeal is nice, you may get more for the card raw than graded.

In all honesty it can't be priced. Some say that it is quite possibly 2 grades lower, but in the market they tend to go for even less. A few months back I picked up a 1986 Jerry Rice rookie PSA 9 (OC) for 26.00. SMR has the card listed at 200.00 but the fact that it was an (OC) even though mint in all other aspects it was very hard for the person to sell. Now this isnt the case everytime but I would not look to get more than 25 to 30% of its value at the PSA 8. Hope this helps.

Wow this stinks. I wish they just would have given me a grade less without it. At least I got my order way early and for 5 bucks ea. I wouldn't even know how to even begin to crack it.

Yeah the qualifiers suck. I know that PSA was trying to do a good thing, but at the same time the cards are considered in most collectors eyes as seriously flawed and that makes them worthless.

Sometimes they go for more too.

the 2 grade lower is only for registry purposes.

I have seen 8 OC cards go for more then what a 6 would go for and I have seen them go for less.

It depends on the card.

Thanks guys maybe I should just take my chances. I might do ok with it. I have great feedback and low shipping so I tend to do well with my auctions. However, I am known more for hockey than baseball as I don't do as much of the other sports, though i do some.

In some cases I want the 8 OC as opposed to the lower grade.

Last month I sold a 54 Duke Snider PSA 8OC for 205.00

That same card in a straight 6 sells for far less, I think 125.00?

In straight 8 it is a 600.00 card.

In that case it worked for me.

If a card is OC and does not have the qualifier the potential buyer can still see
that it is off centered.

Again, it depends on the card.

In many cases the qualifier is the kiss of death, but not n every case.

I agree with Steve, and wanted to add that not all OC cards are created equal. I don't mind paying good money for an OC card that has good eye appeal and is off-centered. I would rather have a nice card in great condition that is off-center in a good way than a better centered card with a lot of wear.

This card looks nice to me and I wasn't afraid to pay PSA 7 money for it, one grade less than NQ

This card (stolen ebay scan) isn't attractive at all to me and I wouldn't pay PSA 6 money, even though that is 3 grades lower than NQ.
