Thanks. My favorite part of this one is that the OC qualifier shouldn't even really be there (not like it's the typical 75/25 - 80/20 or worse for it). If it had been graded with the no qualifier clause, it's hard to imagine that not being a 7.
But people see the dreaded (OC) and run for the hills, regardless of what's inside the slab. Fine with me since I'm not concerned about those types of resale issues. These '52s aren't going anywhere, so just want the best cards for the best price.
Speaking of shunned off-center material, those have been fun too. I expected to get some nice stuff at a noticeable discount that way, and that has happened so far. A grade 4-5 card that's 80/20 in one direction for the same price as a 2.5 with that much more worn look (but is 60/40ish)? I'll take that all day.
