I sent in two cards the other day. Both cards were massively off center. The left side border is 2mm and the right side border is around 7-8mm.

these cards were both pack fresh and no whitening whatsoever.
PSA entered the grading results today and they both scored 7.
on the order form I specifically said these cards are massively off center.
Is this a case where PSA just doesnt want to give the qualifier?
From the website:
OC (Off Center):
When the centering of the card falls below the minimum standard for that grade will be designated “OC.” PSA determines centering by comparing the measurements of the borders from left to right and top to bottom. The centering is designated as the percent of difference at the most off-center part of the card. A 5% leeway is given to the front centering minimum standards for cards which grade NM 7 or better. For example, a card that meets all of the other requirements for PSA MINT 9 and measures 60/40 off-center on the front automatically meets the PSA front centering standards for MINT 9. If a card meets all of the other requirements for PSA MINT 9 and measures 65/35 off-center on the front, it may be deemed to meet the PSA front centering standards for MINT 9 if the eye appeal of the card is good.
I just called PSA customer support and they said that the grader somehow graded the cards according to “no qualifiers” checked. But on my order form I never checked that for any of my cards. The grader will be taking a look at these cards again in the afternoon.
Did you get my message?
PSA were able to change the grades from 7 to 9OC
If you want to sell that Ray, message me
Im not sure if I will sell it at the moment as it is my first (or second) OC card.
