For example PSA 8 OC should get rid of the OSI designation and just knock it down to a 6 or 7 because of the off centering.

1. Eye appeal is subjective.
2. Their standards exist for a reason and they can't change them (to suit people's tastes).
3. It's also not accurate to grade a card a 5 just because the centering is bad when the physical card itself is pristine. That would just create a new market inefficiency where people start paying premiums for sharp cards with less than perfect centering because they've been undergraded by the "professionals."
