Is This OC?

[Big Six]

Maybe PSA forgot 54's don't have a top border...

Wow that's a long bar code... I would crack it out if you are going to send it back in. I never and I mean never send a card in it's slab for a regrade.

I know, that bar code is really long! I guess that's the way some of the early ones were.

The left/right centering makes my eyes go crossed. That is most likely the problem.

PSA was much tougher on OC prior to 1999. That's a vintage holder,
I had a '54 Mays that was resubmitted and did not come back OC ten years later. I sold it , then upgraded. I still have my '52 7 oc, that is also probably worth a resubmit, but it looked so nice anyway, I never bothered - cause it ain't for sale. I think it's worth the resend.

I would sell that card rather than try to re-grade.
It looks like a PSA 6 to me because of the left to right centering and it could just be the scan, but to me the top corners look way too soft/touched for an 8 of any kind.

At least, with my luck, if I sent that card in, I would have gotten a 6!

[GasHouseGang]

I think the scan may be a bit fuzzy itself. I pulled the card out and looked at the corners and they are actually quite square. However, I've had similar luck on submitting cards! You never know what may happen. Here's another scan. Maybe it's better.

Correct, that is a vintage holder and today that maybe not O/C but on the other hand, it may not be an 8. I think there is a thread on another board about a 63 Rose in this same type holder that is O/C and is better centered then this one. Looks like PSA was tougher on centering rules related to the grade back in the earlier days just like SGC was very lax on centering at that time.

If the corners are sharp as you say, I think it could come back a 7 with no qualifiers.
