Centering

[swarmee]

Open up Microsoft Paint (or some other image program) and use the "Overlay gridlines".

If you have to resort to technology to differentiate, you are pursuing trivialities. You'd be surprised how accurately the human eye can differentiate between relative sizes and even colors. If it looks centered to your eye it is probably within tolerance for being considered 'centered'.

If you are worried about TPG submissions, that is another story. FWIW, when I was trying to handicap cards for a PSA submission I used a ruler with mm rule and it worked quite well in finding cards that had "9" level centering.

This one's always looked good to me. Microsoft Paint confirms the qualifier is incorrect according to PSA's criteria. That probably doesn't answer the question. I just derive satisfaction from parading my example of an objectively incorrect grade.

Nice card. It has got to be real close top to bottom on being OC.

I understand your satisfaction. I love showing off the counterfeit card I own that PSA recently slabbed.

Be careful of Diamond cut or Tilt cut as well - where the picture can be slightly cockeyed.
