Centering Help

[darocker80]

Not familiar with grading sterlings and was wondering if the centering on this card is good (Top and bottom looks a bit off but not sure if that's normal or not) Other than I think its grade worthy but would like some opinions, thanks.

don't know myself, but i checked to see something for comparison - looks like the bottom on the you're asking about seems smaller than this 9.5 *EDIT* not my card nor my auction

I think you'd need 3 other 9.5s in order to gem it, because I think centering will get a 9 at BEST.

Check my sterling Travis Sniders in my bucket.......many look like this centering and are 9.5s.

The ones that got 9.5 centering seem to have a lot more space on the bottom than the one in question. I'm just saying, sending something in with less than perfect centering gives you a lot less room for error on the rest of the card. It's much easier to miss something on edges, surface and corners than it is centering, so you want as much room for error as possible.

It's off centered l/r a little. T/B centering is spot on, though, I think.

Here is what I am referring to:

BGS gives 07 Sterling a blind eye on t/b centering. I've seen quite a few in 9.5 holders with horrible t/b centering. Some even look to be 85-15 range. Yours should grade out fine.
