Default Question on centering

Posted By: effe 

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"?

That centering is horrific. As much as some do not like PSA's system of having qualifiers -- this one truly deserves the MC qualifier....

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

The description says that it is offcenter 100/0 from top to bottom-So no the card did not slide under the holder.

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.

There are numerous examples like the Lajoie, such as

SGC seems to be very lenient regarding the centering of cards, especially t206's.

Let's face it, with any grading company, you still need to see a good quality scan, before you purchase the card. 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.
