How much does the back centering of a card affects its overall centering grade? Does anyone have a graded 9 or higher centering with off centering (on the back)?

No matter the parameters and expectations being set, a human is still looking at it.

It deserves a 9? The centering on mine is much, much better and they'll only give it an 8.5.

I've regularly seen it get a 9, maybe an 8.5 if the grader is not in a good mood. Your's should definitely be at least a 9. No way it is more than 70/30 on the back. Whats the front look like?

The front is good. They sent a note back when I sent it for a bumb stating that the back centering is why it is not a 9.

So it was slabbed as an 8.5 centering and u resubbed and they said they couldn't bump it? I would send it in again and hope they give you the sub bump. I know people who have resubbed a card 5+ times until they finally got them the sub bump

Centering: 55/45 both ways on front. 70/30 or better on back... that card is better than 70/30, it has to be the front.
