Show your high grade (oc) cards

Nice card. Yeah, the grading companies seem pretty inconsistent on their "back policies" from what I've seen. It's a shame to give a card with good front centering and that good of a presentation an MC designation just based on the back...but nice that you probably got a deal because of it.

I've also seen the opposite. I have a '66 Koufax that has decent centering on the front, technically is miscut on the back because of the borders, and is probably a NM card otherwise. PSA graded it a straight 6, even though that's wrong by their own standards for the back.

Great cards, gentlemen! I'm finding that I am reaching the point that I am getting less particular all the way around. Centering used to bother me but doesn't as much anymore. In some circumstances, I have even started tolerating a crease here or there! If it isn't written on, torn, or thumbtacked (my apologies to those who love those ) I might just be ok with it. First world problems/decisions I guess.

Yeah, I was surprised to see this get a straight 5 with part of the next card on the right back border. Should have been a miscut. Maybe they're more lenient with certain issues.

Centering like this does not bother me, but cross-cuts or "diamond" cuts if they are bad do.

Forgot to post this beauty. Not sure if OC or MC is an apt description. It is simply just too big top to bottom and seems to have eaten some of the card above it. It otherwise has the sharpest corners and cleanest surface of any T202 I own. The writing on the back is freakishly crisp.

Horizontal cards (like that Schmidt rookie, '55 & '56 Topps) that are OC side-to-side don't bother me that much. Also regular vertical cards like that '66 Clemente that are off top-to-bottom a bit don't bother me either.

Damn, Andy someone at the factory totally f&*% that Connie up. The guy must of had one hell of a night before. The sheet got way off during the cutting process for sure.
I always looked at that Connie was there sitting on a toilet.

I meant to comment on that Hassan Wood/Speaker. Awesome card!
