What would you value a PSA 8 oc T201 cobb? Would you rather have a straight PSA 6 or the 8 oc?
Thanks guys

I'd take the 8 OC. What the heck, if the corners are sharp and the color is deep then I think I could live with a 99/1 OC back. The only consideration now would be price!

Is the front well centered? If it is only the back that is oc, then I'd prefer the PSA 8oc over a PSA 6.

The only problem with the O/C back is that Cobb is on the back. I display mine with the back up and wouldn't like it if Cobb was "messy."

Its not that bad, the front looks fine, its just the back is 99-1 to the left and the TB is almost 50-50 now that i look at it. It is graded a 6 right now but with NQs. It has 3 MINT!!!! MINT!!!! MINT!!! corners with just one being Nm-Mt+, but its OC. And the bottom 2 corners by the cobb are mint, its just the top right that has a slight touch. I was thinking about sending it back to PSA for a Qual. grade but thought I ask for yalls opinions.
What would yall value a PSA 8 OC in todays market.
I feel a 6 grade states that it can be OC slightly still and have wear on the corners. But for almost a 100 year old card to have mint corners and just have a factory error that it may be worth more in the 8 oc case.
Any idea for the value?
Thanks

You better check out the PSA criteria for grading. The greatest OC a card can be is 90/10 on the back to get a "6" w/o a qualifier. But then again who knows, PSA always bends the rules on the centering guideline (ok, so do the other grading services).


EX-MT 6: Excellent-Mint.

A PSA EX-MT 6 card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect which does not detract from its overall appeal. A very light scratch may be detected only upon close inspection. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may show some loss of original gloss, may have minor wax stain on reverse, may exhibit very slight notching on edges and may also show some off-whiteness on borders. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
EX 5: Excellent.

Excellent On PSA EX-5 cards, very minor rounding of the corners is becoming evident. Surface wear or printing defects are more visible. There may be minor chipping on edges. Loss of original gloss will be more apparent. Focus of picture may be slightly out-of-register. Several light scratches may be visible upon close inspection, but do not detract from the appeal of the card. Card may show some off-whiteness of borders. Centering must be 85/15 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back.
