Default When grading cards, how is the back considered?
Hi,

first of all, apologize if this is the wrong forum, but have a quick question around how grading companies "grade" backs of cards. having looked through recent ebay auctions and other auction house lots, I've been shocked at how many cards (1954, 1957, 1958 topps) have beautiful fronts but pretty awful backs, particularly with centering.

I've read the grading guidelines on PSA and SGC, but these guidelines don't always seem to be enforced. Would like to solicit Net54's expert contributors for your opinions.

how important is a centered card back? a card back ENTIRELY free of spots and specks?

thanks!
