I voted no.
If a card grades an 8 in most categories, for example, but is exceptional in one (or more) particular area (centering, registration, color, corners, etc), but is not quite a 9...it should then grade an 8.5 (in theory). This is what half grades are for. Last edited by MVSNYC; 08-05-2018 at 08:24 PM.

Absolutely not. Centering is a criteria, just like corners, creases, etc. It should be baked into the grade. You start separating those out and the whole system becomes even more of a mess than it already is.

The simpler the system the better. We can look at a PSA 10 and see with our eyes whether it's 50/50 or 55/45. And if we want to know if it's 50/50 instead of 51/49 then eye roll emoji.

I'm in favor of less qualifiers vs. more. So I would say 'no'.

I vote yes. Why, because it's starting to seem like the average collector has no clue and needs to be spoon fed.

I voted no.
Instead, put why it's graded what it is on the back of the flip.

Yes definitely, and there should also be qualifiers to for when the sky is blue, the grass is green and when the water is wet for collectors who can't determine those things either.
At some point-- say when he has to be told that a card is rectangular or the 1971 Topps borders are black or that a card is perfectly centered or that an autograph is Mint--, that a collector doesn't deserve to own a card.

Since it is just one part of the grading process, if you were to put the notation on it for centering than you might as well go back to Beckett's 4 score process...

NO qualifiers ! There are guidelines in reference to centering for each grade, use them ! How can a card be a "9" with poor centering / etc ? It must be centered , as per guideline , to get that grade.

No. If my net54 memory serves me correctly, some collectors even have differing opinions on what is considered centered for certain issues, such as T206. Is the name part of the border (my choice), or does the border start after the name?
