Gilbert MainesJudge, I thought you were kidding when you indicated
PSA's subjectivity is applied to OC measured values: "they make an occassional error in subjectively determining percentages".
And when I found that they appear to use a ruler rather than a divining rod, I felt again that I was on secure ground about you kidding: "PSA determines centering by comparing the measurements of the borders from left to right and top to bottom".
But I was wrong. PSA employs a technique which overrides actual measured values: "it may be deemed to meet the PSA front centering standards for MINT 9 if the eye appeal of the card is good".
It is unclear (ain't that strange) whether this good eye appeal standard is proportionally applied to all grades, but then again, why bother?
