PSA 6 vs. PSA 8(OC)

[Rhotchkiss]

In my opinion, the phrase “oc” on a flip is marginally better than “altered”. It’s not the Bubonic Plague, but it is small pox. Granted some “oc” designations are harsh, but unless you are planning to buy and resubmit, even a harshly graded card in an “oc” flip is not something I am interested in, at all.

Marginally better than a grade of A? That is the dumbest thing I've heard in 25 years....A high grade card that is off centered versus a card probably trimmed? Come on Ryan, you're smarter than that....I thought anyway....

I don’t mind OC cards per se. I despise OC flips and unless it’s a really rare card, I will never spend money on a card in an OC flip. If that’s dumb, then I guess I am dumb.

To answer the OP’s original question - I would take the 6 over the 8(oc)

Totally agree with this as a general rule, depending on the card and rarity of Pop reports, and card issue. A strong, well centered 6 over an 8OC, yes, probably more times than not. Also, I wasn't calling you dumb because your not....The statement about little differences was what I was referring to...

So just to be clear, you have a 33 Goudey Ruth in a PSA 7(OC), not much difference value wise in the Ruth graded PSA A?
