PSA 5 or PSA 8 (OC)

[rats60]

If the PSA 8 O/C is 75/25, I am taking that. If it is a M/C in an O/C holder like those posted above, I will take the 5.

My preference, though it seems contra-market at this point, is to buy the 8 OC card with sharp corners - nearly the way it came out of the pack, rather than a 5 with better centering but weaker corners. Perhaps it is because when I was learning about card condition 25 years ago, there was a focus on corners more than anything else. But I seek out the 8OC as a deep value. I do this knowing that the card collecting public may never agree with me, but I love those sharp corners.

This OC isn’t that bad IMO. The L-R centering is pretty good. Top/Bottom isn’t really that distracting.

but if you had to sell the OC card, it’d probably be harder to sell than the psa 5. I’d get the psa 5.

But get the card you like better.

Hey there, I know you know what you're talking about but I'm confused by this comment. How are the above cards with the "O/C" miscut? Along those lines what is the official definition of miscut. I always interpreted it as the card having no border one one side, but it's obviously a bit more complex than that. Thank you.

I have had cards with that centering graded M/C by PSA.
