If a card is a 7, but would be 7 OC, they just make it a straight PSA 5. Many people prefer a straight grade and will request it to avoid qualifiers.

If a card is truly MC though, you can't opt out of that qualifier. They will either put it on the flip, or send your card back to you raw.

That's true. I've had it happen on a couple of cards I submitted.

To clarify, cards posted here earlier in this thread - I would agree are not miscut. Yes, depending on the grade, they might get an OC qualifier w/ PSA. For lower grades, the OC qualifier actually becomes less of an issue because the standard the centering is required to be held to is on a sliding scale.

I posted my two cards as examples of off-center, not miscut. I was pointing out that under PSA I would have received a qualifier for both cards as o/c.

Right, sorry I think I originally confused you with the OP. Beautiful cards, even if they would be qualified!
