Centered?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Just keyword spamming given the craze. I am sure the seller knows it isn't centered.

With all the talk of PWCC's various letter codes, I think stuff like this is worse because the card just isn't centered. And it happens a lot, on eBay and elsewhere...

It's ALL really harmless sales talk, and while I don't shop PWCC stuff, especially the high priced stuff that gets letters added like it has a degree, I'm guessing at least those cards have a chance to live up to the hype. Describing a card like this as "centered" is just laughable, unless that adjective is preceded by "not."
If I'm in the market for a card, I might click on something that is described as "centered," but I pay no mind to any "X3JDKD" or whatever acronym a seller comes up with. I'd expect it be, you know, centered.

Yeah but you're not going to pay more for it because someone SAYS it's centered when it isn't. People clearly do pay more for stickered cards, on the other hand.

Yes on the first part. But do people pay more because the cards are stickered, or does PWCC do a good hob of identifying cards that are strong for the grade (thereby commanding a higher price)? I don’t think there’s evidence to prove which one is accurate.

Given the huge premiums I've seen, I would say at least in part it's the stickers. I've sold very high end for the grade cards on ebay and they don't do squat. And I've seen PWCC stickered cards that I felt were unworthy of any special sticker go very high.

The card looks centered in the holder
