So a card can be 90/10 on the front and PSA claims they would give a card that off-centered a 3.

However, the card could be in wonderful shape and that is the only major flaw. So PSA says the card is effectively NM-MT except for the issue of it being off-centered. Those vintage cards that are in great shape (pack fresh!) aren't really as bad as VG 3 which normally would have a crease and some rounding of the corners. As such, they award it 8(OC) and it counts as a PSA 6 equivalent for a registry set, and normally sells for a PSA 5 to PSA 6 price.
The link above also talks about the other items that PSA considers qualifiers: OF, MK, MC, etc.
