Question on centering
 

Posted By: <b>effe&nbsp; </b><p>I spotted this card by it's description in the upcoming Teletrade auction. How did it grade a 50? According to SGC's website this should have been a 10 with this centering. Do they measure centering from the best (highest) corner? Or is it possible the card has just slid under the holder's "frame"? <BR><a href="http://www.teletrade.com/cards/lot.asp?auction=1442&lot=1011" target=_new>http://www.teletrade.com/cards/lot.asp?auction=1442&lot=1011</a>

As much as some do not like PSA's system of having qualifiers -- this one truly deserves the MC qualifier....<BR><BR>A nice card if you collect T-206 HOFers in affordable grade -- but very different than what I would expect to see on a straight 4 VG/EX

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>SGC seems to have no consistancy in regards to following the guidlines when it comes to centering. I have e93 Griffith that is center 90/10 and has better corners than this Lajoie, but it got a 40, the max a 90/10 card can get according to their guidlines. And my Griffith wwas graded before this Lajoie was, so it's not 'early' grade.<BR><BR>Jay

Having said that I still get an extra degree of comfort when buying over the internet, if the card has been graded by a respectable company.
