Thanks all. I have not seen the card in awhile and have no scan, but recall it was not centered 52-48 or better, and so an 8 is likely the best I could get.

Ummm, you must be thinking of BGS's centering rules for a 10. PSA is more lenient on centering than Beckett.

Well, I doubt my card looks any better than this one, although i guess I'll check next week.

I'd say that one's an outlier. Top bottom centering on front is maybe 60/40 at the absolute most. Maybe the back is way off center or they had different rules 20 years ago when that one was graded.

Top to bottom is more off than 60-40. That said still better centers than most with oc qualifier.

480-436 = 44 pixels at top.
1452-1425 = 27 pixels at bottom. 44/(44+27) = 62/38 centering. Mint 9 definition includes front centering from 60/40 to 65/35 so unless the card back is way off, it should have not gotten the OC qualifier. Seems like an easy upgrade if you sent that card in for review to raise it to a straight 9. Everyone freaked out last year when the Vintage Breaks 1955 Bowman Mantle straight from a pack got a 9 last year and it had about 60/40 centering, saying it was too off-centered. Just on a card with borders as narrow as 1955 Bowman, it was very noticeable.

the picture on the card isn't completely square (looks very very mnor tilt) are you measuring at absolute worst point and 60-40 is the real standard the extra 5 is added for mistakes. I have spoken with the graders about these things at an industry meeting but please believe what you want. Also I am willing to bet they get a worse measure with a peak loupe than your pixel count I see that as worse that the 62-38 you are claiming. id be shocked if they felt that could hit a straight 8 (15-20% chance at best) it has less than a 1% chance at a 9 in 2019. When you read off the standards remember some of those extra little details are for mistakes and to justify the grades on older cards when they were more lenient ( not debating wether that is right or not but it is what it is)
