Take your example of a PSA 9 OC. If graded a straight 7, some buyers would say, "...with that centering, I can only price it like a 5..." (looking to whack the card again when trying to buy it from you)

Yeah, agreed. That's exactly what I was alluding to near the end of my post with the PSA 5 example. Centering (good or bad) is evident to anyone looking at a card, and the standards set forth by the TPGs are parameters they invented. Why are the 'acceptable' centering percentages on a 7 different from an 8 or 9? They should grade the card itself and leave the centering acceptability to the buyer.
