    You have to use the bottom link that says direct link to image and hit the 4th button udner the message text in this box. little picture frame, that should make it work

    If you have a high res scan it will show up huge like this and you can use the resize option in imageshack.us

    In looking at the card in the small scan It is plainly obvious that the card does NOT have "perfect" centering as you originally stated. A larger scan may reveal otherwise but by appearances, it looks to be no better than 65/35 to the right which is VERY common on this card due to its location on the right side of the rare sheet for the Alpha/Beta print runs.

    This malady is why cards such as Vesuvan, Birds of Paradise, and Forcefield are so difficlut and prized to obtain in gem quality as the centering for this row was brutal.

    I would say PSA graded this card very fairly.

    Yep, what Len said image

    I have seen PSA give cards with similar centering (or worse) 10's, but those are "gifts" and not the norm. This is why I always need a nice scan before buying a 10; I won't pay 10 prices for a card with centering that isn't 55/45 or better.

    Sorry you didn't the grade you hoped for - it is still a beautiful Vesuvan image

    Hey,

    I am such a ludite, I don't even begin to try to post pics. It makes my brain freeze just reading about it. Anyway, I concur with the band of merry men. This vesuvan is a 9 based on centering. The 10 I got is similarly centered. As Jared syas, cards centered like this that get a 10 are gifts from the psa gods.

    As Len says, certain cards are notoriously off center. This is one of them. My perfectly centered, 1/1 Birds of Paradise is truely rare and difficult to find. That's why I paid a P9 price for it. In my book, its a valuable as a 1/8 PSA 10 mox.

    Was this the card you emailed me about that was for sale on ebay? If it was, I passed on it because I didn't think the centering was good enough for a 10. Still, it's my favorite card and if you don't have a need for it, let me know. I've got some AN 10's to trade. Love the two girls!
