Centering never should have been a factor in grading to begin with.

To the original question, 2 grades is the perceived hickey. Some are more eyesores than others though. .

I agree with the concept that 2 grades is an appropriate adjuster. In part it’s probably driven by PSA’s deduction of two grades when doing the set registry math, and the rest of us not having a more refined approach to take.
At the same time, a lot of collectors avoid qualifiers, so the adjustment in many cases might be even larger by the market. One further observation is that some items are so hard to find in any grade that a qualifier probably doesn’t make much of a difference at all. But for those cards, the same phenomenon holds true at the bottom of the grading scale as well, with or without qualifiers.

As one of a seemingly few on net54 who enjoys and seeks out the 'right' cards with qualifiers, let me offer a couple of quick examples as to why the the two-point drop in value doesn't often compute.
According to that theory, a PSA 8 OC and a PSA 6 should be the same price, so I did a quick search on PSA's 'Auction Prices Realized' site to find cards that had similar centering, and grabbed these four examples (not my cards)... This first pair was graded long ago, and although the centering is decently alike overall, the PSA 8 OC does have much better centering, and look how much sharper the corners are. For a moment, imagine the centering was (literally) exactly the same on both. The card with the qualifier is so much stronger in every other aspect, so it should never sell for the same price as the PSA 6. It is much more 'valuable.' 1969clementeOCcomp02.jpg In this example, the PSA 6 is a recent grade, so it must be better than the 6 in the previous example, but again, the card with the qualifier is much better in every aspect. The two cards should never command the same price. 1969clementeOCcomp01.jpg These are non-cherry-picked examples, so you can find a million other cards to either agree with or refute what I am saying, but the basic fact remains: “All OC cards are equal, but some OC cards are more equal than others.”
