The centering is about the same as the Rhoades T206 I sent them back. I thought (and told SGC) the grade should be a 30 b/c of 90/10 centering. They sent it back as a 40 (for those who don't know, it was in a 60 holder). So, I think an SGC 50 is very generous for the centering on that particular card.

As for the 20, glue on the front lowers a grade substantially, so I guess that one is technically graded correctly as well (though, it probably could have been a 30 with the eye appeal it has). However, it is one of those SGC 20's, like my Croft's Cocoa Cobb, that is very nice for the technical grade!

Personally, I believe SGC is far more lenient on grading these days than they have been in the past.
