not for nothing, but...
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!

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.

in my humble opinion the left/right centering is almost certainly what gave it the qualifier, and rightfully so. I'd wager that if you resubmitted this it'd probably come back as an 8 o/c again, or possibly a 6 or 7 with no qualifier.
It's a tossup. Some graders seem to look at a card and say "well it meets all of the criteria for an 8 except for centering so I'll call it an 8 OC" where others will look at it and say "well the centering on this card is only 65/35 so its a 6." Just depends on who you get I suppose... A lot of people say that a qualifier immediately knocks it down about 2 grades in terms of 'value' and that's probably true. But if I'm looking to pick up a card and I have a choice between a PSA 6 with no qualifiers or a PSA 8 OC, I'd most likely take the 8 OC because its going to have a cleaner surface, sharper corners, & cleaner edges than a 6 would. To me, it being offcenter is a fair trade off for better quality on the other 3. That's just my take... So, long story short...I'd keep the 8 OC rather than resubmit it asking for no qualifiers and most likely get back a 6.
