I agree on the grain on the back of Bowmans. Those are hit or miss depending on who gets your card at PSA. I've never had one get hammered for that at SGC. But PSA is definitely more lenient than SGC on centering, significantly more lenient in fact. Not just in practice, but also in their published grading standards.
