Centering on PSA Graded Cards
Posted By: Jay
This is a legitimate question and is not meant to start a PSA bashing thread. The link below is to a football lot currently on ebay. PSA states in their rules that a PSA 6 has no worse than 80-20 front centering. How is that measured and was this card misgraded? Is the 80-20 an average of left right and top bottom centering or is it the worst centered area? |

Centering is measured at the worst point, which in this card is L-R at the top of the picture. I zoomed in and measured the pixels, and there are 6 on the left and 24 on the right, making this exactly 20/80. IMHO this should not have getten a 6 even though the centering technically qualifies it, because the eye appeal is horrible. |

I have asked a centering question before with regard to T206. I suppose my general question at this point is: is there latitude granted to the strict constrictions based on the particular issue of card in question? |

How is that 95/5? Did you measure it or are you just guessing? 95/5 would mean there is 19 times as much border on the right as there is on the left. |

I agree, if you actually take the time to enlarge the picture and measure each border, the centering comes out 80/20. |

So how the hell did this card not get an OC qualifier? |

It didn't get an OC qualifier because it is 80/20, which fits in the definition of an unqualified 6. |

Yep, 80-20. Still looks like a 5 from that picture, but the centering is okay for a 6. |
