It's not just OC, the black field is streaky and the yellow print has terrible registration. But to your original question, you'll never know unless you crack it out. If you think it's an 8 or 9 before, send it back to PSA as a review candidate. Or trim it to make it 43/43 centered and have David Thorn send it, they won't catch it and you'll get the number you want.

Yeah, but it’s not uncommon to see streaky fields and less than perfect print registration even on 7’s.

Right, but he claimed it was NM-MT or Mint, except for the centering.

That’s correct, the iPhone photo (with the reflection off the plastic casing) makes that streaking look worse than it actually is. This card in its original raw state looks at least NM-MT, IMHO

Right you are. I can see that card as a 7, but not a 9.
