Sorry i would agree with Steve on this one ? People get SO BENT out of shape for a OC card , that , also , come out of the packs looking like that ? So, to say that"s the way they come out , to , me holds NO WATER ....then for a rough cut card , but we take off for a OC card. But not for rough cut card ? I do take off for any rough cut card , including O-Pee- Chee cards & I'v seen them rough cut on ALL 4 sides ?

That is True.

Also, it cheapens the value of a PSA 9 that is sharp.

So you have two cards with the same grade that are not the same.

Maybe they should add a qualifier like they do with OC Cards?

If I had a card like that it would drive me nuts.

Centering is the most important thing to me unless the picture is out of focus or fadded or something major like that.

I like them, but that is also what I am use to, as that's the way they were when I was young and collected OPC hockey cards.

What's your thoughts on deckle edge cards?

Interesting conversation. Objectively the statement is accurate - off centered cuts, print marks and potentially other "original factory issues" are that while the grading companies penalize for all but the rough cut. Interesting point. I guess brings us back to the old adage - buy the card not the holder - If you like the factory defect - whatever it is - great buy it - if not - don't. Remember 3rd party grading at the end of the day is only "an opinion" - you are entitled to your own.
