If you're at a show use a loop and a piece of screen, like from a screened in porch and count the holes on each border. If you're in the comfort of your own home, lay the card over that same piece of screen and then scan and enlargen so that you can easily count the number of holes for each border. Or just scan the card by itself, enlargen, and measure with a ruler. The dimensions will remain the same and you can fairly accurately determine the centering.
