At least with SGC, they are fairly consistent with them. If the card has great centering, color and registration, you'll usually get the +0.5 half-grade bump. At PSA though, they just roll a pair of loaded dice and if it lands on snake eyes, you win. That 7 should absolutely be in a 7.5 holder (or a 6.5 if you think that's too high). It should never be in a 6, 7, or 8. Eye-appeal matters, and supposedly that's what PSA claims they give out half-grades for. This one has it in spades.
Interesting. Where did you see that claim by PSA?

I mean I guess it makes sense for them to say: "This is a really nice 7. It would be an 8 except for this technical flaw so . .
