I don’t even understand the argument at this point. I don’t think I ever stated that as a claim.
This is your exact statement, really wasn't hard to dig up:
"In high grade, I see Hurts being tougher on centering (especially being a tan back) than Dr. Ono. I don’t even see how Dr. Ono being a pulled title makes it that much more expensive, it’s worth a couple dollars more. It is no Choke Wagon"
Hurts is tougher on centering from a grading point of view because of the arbitrariness as Dave pointed out that a Hurts and Dr Ono with EXACT same cutting would result in the grading world thinking the Hurts is more off center. Why you think the tan back would impact centering is beyond me. I tried to explain to you that the PSA population guide indicating there are fewer Hurts 10's is not actually proof of anything given the small sample size and no details provided on why a title got a 9 vs 10 but that conversation is clearly not fruitful here.
PSA 10 allows for 60/40 centering which Faustxx highlighted is a crock so in the end you are right that a Hurts 10 would be harder to get than a Dr Ono 10 due to grading being focused on eye appeal(borders width) and not actually on the pristineness of the correct cut. If grading was based consistently on the cut, there is an equal chance that Dr Ono wouldn't be cut perfectly just like Hurts ie or equal chance of the exact cut in Dave's example.
All of this revalidated for me why I never considered collecting PSA graded cards nor will I ever and 100% of the time when I get one, I will sell it.
In terms of Dr Ono rarity itself, it is a 3rd row sticker that was pulled, it is a fact there are far less Dr Ono's than most of the rest of series 3 and I am certain there are fewer Dr Ono's than Hurts tans so again if grading was focused on the cut and not eye appeal of border widths, clearly there would be fewer Dr Ono 10s because there are fewer Dr Ono's in existence.
