PSA 7

PSA 8 (oc)

I received a message from the consignor of that card. I do think the original poster (here) is just asking the question. So be it and my apologies...though I wasn't rushing to judgement I was only saying that nothing is off limits to at least be questioned. This board has a history of questioning everything and I don't think that is all bad, though sometimes I understand the bit of pain it can cause. The "Sh** to Equity" ratio is still good though and I will take on some angst over just turning a blind eye. Hopefully the original poster will see that we have equal skepticism on everything and not just this one thread.

Personally, I like centered cards a lot and think it really adds to the visual appeal. I would almost always take a better centered card (even a bit lower grade) over a higher graded but less well centered one. regards
