Gem Mint?
I just bought a PSA gem mint Dave Winfield 1981 traded card and it's off mint possible center on the back. How is a 10 possible?

Is the card an older graded one without the Hologram?
PSA does allow for slight off centering and maybe even more if it's on the back. http://www.psacard.com/resources/gra...andards/#cards

It does, but I don't understand how a gem mint card can be off center on the back. It shoud be a 9. It is the older grade no hologram.

If you are going to buy graded cards, you need to learn the differences between grading companies.

I've seen worse. I think one of the 75 Brett 10s is off by more than that. As someone else said yours is better than the 75/25 that's required.

Ok. I understand the guidelines, it just makes no sense.

"Gem Mint" is a grade on a scale. It does not convey that a card is totally perfect, despite assumptions to the contrary.

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure they allow 90/10 centering on the back for 9s.

The same is true of "tilt" or slightly diamond cut cards. I've seen cards with noticeable tilt in PSA 10 slabs before too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
