Everyone here knows that a gem card must be 50/50 on centering, even Beckett clearly states that, they just made "a little exception" for exposure

As much as I consider BVG almost as good as, if not as good as SGC, I think that if anyone there made the statement of "a little exception for exposure" then that is a mistake. It reminds me of a certain Wagner card....
That being said I think the grading of a unique card is almost secondary to it's scarcity. If I were buying it, it wouldn't matter if it were a 7,8,9, 9.5 or whatever.....it's unique and that, to me, says it all. This last part is my own view and I am sure it's contrary to how many other folks feel. regards
