My experience is that SGC can be fairly tough on these SBs and their E135 counterparts, and that alot has to do with the card surface, which often presents well but can have non-distracting little impressions or slight mars that are almost never visible in the scans.

As for the back, SBs often have uneven inking in that square "frame" surrounding the text, and those little bars can blur together. The centering should not impact the grade.

Here are 2 SBs of mine (I think the 60 looks nicer all the way around) and an SGC 86 Boston store that has simlar if not worse centering.
