Despite possibly meeting the PSA 8 standards for centering, because it is OC both directions, PSA decided it would not get a PSA 8. They might have given it a straight PSA 7. PSA has some internal rules that state if the card would get a 1 point drop based on the centering, they give it the unqualified lower grade.
If it would be at least a two point drop, they give it the qualifier on the higher grade, unless the submitter asked for "No Qualifiers" when they submitted it.
If you are not a centering OCD collector, you can buy a lot of nicely conditioned cards for much less, as you did with your Aaron. If you sent it back to PSA and wanted it in a PSA 7 slab, they would probably do that for you under the review service. But I doubt it would ever qualify for a straight 8.
It's a strange hobby, huh?
