qualifier in my opinion though it looks more like a 7. From the serial number i believe this was an early grade, reholdered, Not the greatest but i do not see this as horrible either. would not probably 8 today, but both PSA and SGC have tightened their parameters since they started. Again would not be an 8 today but looks fine as a 7. I do not really scream about one grade opinion difference. There are plenty of SGC 88 cards with similar centering. Especially those graded in the late 1990's.

Is it me or do those borders look small, could it be trimmed?

Brent, I thought the borders might be just a little on the thin side, but I compared it to other graded examples, and have reversed myself.
![]() I do, however, feel that if the card were graded today, it would receive an OC qualifier. I think Glyn is right, that card has been reholdered.

What is the difference in price between the following:
PSA7 to PSA8 PSA8 to PSA9 I just get a kick out of perceived values of the labels. IMHO people place a higher value on those labels than the actual card itself.

Just another example of the arbitrariness inherent in grading. I will never understand the wide disparities in value at the higher grades.

Definitely looks oc to me...I've seen some not this bad with the qualifier. But I think this just shows how inconsistent TPG can be and we shouldn't be surprised when examples like this show up.

Because for some people collecting is a competitive endeavor.

Bob,
Thanks for posting the prices for the different grades on this card: PSA 7....$10.000 PSA 8...$23,500 PSA 9....$75,000 It absolutely blows my mind that someone would pay so much for a label that says PSA8 (or even 9) when you can't tell the difference between some of these cards and someone "subjectively" assigns these numbers.
