O/C in Graded Cards

2 things here:

1) As already pointed out by "Brewing" in post #5, that card doesn't warrant a qualifier. It's ballpark 70/30 and that is within PSA's standards.

2) This is regarding the comment I quoted above. O/C quailifiers are a joke. Does one really need to see the letters "O/C" on a flip to tell them that a cards is off-center? As you posted above, you can see that it's off center both ways (although I disagree with you on that), but then you're complaining because there is no mention of it on the flip. Well, if you can see it from the card, why do you need to see it on the flip? In other words, anybody that needs to see "O/C" on the flip to tell them that a card is off center probably shouldn't be collecting cards. That's not directed to you, it's a general statement. I can tell if a card is O/C (at least to my standards) by looking at the card, I don't need some flip to tell me that.

Regarding your overall point, I agree with you. If PSA is going to use qualifiers (which I agree with Brewing - they are "horse s#%t" anyway), then they should use them every time that one is waranted - not omit them just because the submitter requests so.
