3) No, if you asked for NQ, you might have gotten a 3 on the one on the left and a 4/5 on the one on the right. Each grade has its own rules for centering when not including qualifiers. You can find the guidelines on PSA's website, but they don't/didn't always follow them exactly over the years.


..At that time , (about twelve years ago) SGC was allegedly less strict about centering when determining a final grade so I sent these to them deliberately so as not to get that dreaded qualifier...if I must have an off-centered card , the top-to-bottom is easier on the eyes...side-to-side centering is literally the first thing I notice ( Hi Matty)...
