What would these grade based on centering? The corners are super sharp and the edges are nice too.

No offence, but thoes are some of the worst scans I have ever seen accompanied by your question. They could be 5's or 9's, cant tell from quality scans let alone thoes..

I'm going to say 9 at best because the T/B centering is off a bit.

Thanks. I hope the grader is feeling generous. How can you tell if the T/B centering is off on these cards?

I'm thinking 9, but I've had cards with worse centering get 9.5.

It's pretty borderline.

Well, to put it in lay-man's terms...the top is thinner than the bottom! lol!

If the top boarder is fatter than the bottom boarder, it is off center T/B.

If the left boarder is fatter than the right boarder, it is off center L/R.

You're looking at easy 9's, possible 9.5's because I haven't really seen how 2009 Chrome is grading.

I was just thinking that since all 09 Chromes were like that it would be easier for grading.

My bigger concern would be the SURFACE.....I have looked at several 2009 and can tell you the surface is what to pay close attention to.
