How is the centering on this??

 

[jbhofmann]

I put the raw card in the top of this

then it spits out onto this

I've never had a problem.

scans are always misleading when it comes to evaluating cards for submission. Send it in and learning is the best way

I use a similar process involving bubble gum, duct tape, a red wire, 3 marbles, and a non-latex condom.

Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.

Thanks for the help! Ill probably be sending this one in. Do scans mislead on centering? Or are they good for judging that?

When it's cropped well it is definitely good to tell

Scans are good for centering and only centering. I hate when people post scans and ask "how will this card grade", it is impossible to tell edges, surfaces, or corners on a scan unless the card has some serious defects

Yeah I knew I wasnt gonna get any help on the corners edges or surface, for the reasons you said

Looks like a 9.5 centering subgrade. Looks perfect L-R and, at worst, 55/45 T-B

Thanks for the help! In person it looks perfect top to bottom and 55/45 l-r, but thats why I ask for help! (now that I look at it, it does look 55/45 top to bottom, and when I hold it sideways it looks perfect l-r!

The centering looks good enough to submit IMO.

 

[James52411]

Looks slightly OC from top to bottom, but I think the grading companies are more lenient on centering than the other card attributes like corners, edges, and surface. I don't think that the centering will kill your grade on this card, unless there are other defects that would prevent it from obtaining your desired grade.

 

[cmnkb8]

Looks 60/40 top/bottom, 50/50 L/R from the scan. BGS will likely give it a 9 for centering. PSA is more lenient on centering, but it's not worth grading unless you're pretty sure other aspects (corner, edge, surface) are gem.

 

[brouthercard]

You will get either a 9, 9.5 or 10 on centering, depending on factors that are not very objective.

 

[SydBarrett]

Have to agree, I think the centering looks pretty good for that card.

For future reference, scan the card at at least 600 dpi and put a piece of paper behind the card that is different than the edges (you did right by having a white background on a black card). You want to have a big picture and no cropping-so you can clearly see the edges.

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I would say either a 9 or 9.5 but probably not a 10.

 

[TopOffLikeWALLACE]

Being a card with so many fakes, any graded card will get a premium price.

You should definitely submit it.
