Grading Standards
Centering refers to how well the artwork is positioned within a card's borders. Perfect centering would have equal spacing on all sides.
Each grading company has different centering tolerances for front and back. Values show the maximum allowed ratio (e.g. 60/40 means the longer border can be at most 60% of the total).
Your estimated grade is the minimum of the Left/Right and Top/Bottom grades.
