Default Grading Device for accurate Centering

Posted By: Mike

Is there a product on the market that can be purchaed that can accurately determine centering ? What do the grading card companies use ? Is their a machine that can visually analyze a card and use a software program to print out the results ? Thanks for any information. Mike

As a matter of fact there is. I believe 707 sells/sold them and is one of the standard devices used by the top graders. I think the cost is over $100 but well worth it.

I have a lighted 10X magnifier that has a graduated scale on the viewing area that I bought for about $40. In addition, I have a set of digital calipers that are very handy for all types of measurements including card length, width and thickness plus border measurements that I bought for $18 or so on Amazon.com.

I think you received it free from Mr. Mint when you purchased 10 cases or more of his wax stain remover for cards. Also, a free Mr. Mint bobblehead with every order. The perfect regift for that special someone you don't like at Christmas.

Mint was handing out beanie babies of himself. We got about 10 of them and hid them ALL over a buddies apartment.......inside freezer, inside microwave, under pillows, foot of bed. He was finding them for weeks. You gotta love Mr. Mint........

Just draw a line from corner to corner for all four corners. Where the lines intersect is the center.

Then measure it up (and erase the lines).

Its easiest to ONLY buy cards that are way off center... you never have to ask yourself... is this off center, its obvious that it is!

However you would find yourself asking... is this perfectly centered?

Allan Hager has a cardsizer that he patented. You use to be able to buy them for $5.95 + $1.00 for postage. He had 2 for baseball 1886-1916 and 1916-present. He also had 1 for hockey and football. You can do a web search for his address, its in FL. now, it use to be in CT. I hope this helps. Merry Christmas to the board!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
