Please decipher the centering on this card.
Where does it start and why? Scan stolen from Ebay....I'm a thief.
First one who guesses right and why gets a stale cookie of their choice.

Reasoning l to r is same as VintageJeff. I measured t-b by the distance between the top edge and "2004" in the logo, and distance between the bottom edge and the line below his name.

Or, you could measure the space on the left the same way, and the right by the space betwen the right edge and the "Rookie" diamond. I believe this way though, would be the same as measuring using the lines above and below his name.

That's right. The left tip of the shield or logo and the right tip of the serial # box for L/R.
The top tip of 2004 and the 2nd bottom gold line under his name for T/B. There are your borders.
Give the man a cookie! PM me if you want it. I have 4 boxes of girlscout cookies still in my freezer
for seasonal purposes. How would the consumer would of known this? I wonder if PSA would agree to this deduction.
GAI says that's the spec they receive from the manufacturer.
I think, just imho, that the l to r centering should be based on the horizontal lines; but if that's the way the company explains their card "specifications", then I guess they can

ps...thanks for the cookie, I give you permission to eat it for me

I would of never guessed it. I've seen the horizontal lines on
other cards (same issue) go the other way towards the right.
I have never seen the horizontal lines centered.
My perception is that this issue is always off centered because
the lines are the focal point. Can we get a PSA grader in here
with his or her opinion on this?
