When submitting to PSA, you can request "no qualifiers" on your invoice. A lot of registry guys really hate qualifiers.

So if you submit a card that would ordinarily get a higher grade but a qualifier, PSA will instead factor the defect into the grade.

It's hard to tell from the picture of that card, because the flash is glaring on the slab, but it seems like it's got white borders, sharp corners and edges, and no crease in the middle like you see with some T202s. It's entirely possible that the submitter requested no qualifiers, and the card would ordinarily have been a 7(OC) or 8(OC) and was knocked down to a 5 due to the centering.

According to PSA, their centering standards for a 5 are 85/15.
