1979-80 Topps Hockey Centering

Anybody have any examples of what they think 50/50 L/R centering should look like on a 1979-80 Topps hockey card? The design feature on the right side of the card throws me off. Should the blue be equal on left and right, or is there some tolerance for the 'bar' on the right side?

This isn't my card...but here's a Gretzky. The blue borders look even. However, the image of Gretzky isn't centered.

In my opinion, that is a 50/50 version of the card. But I see a lot of them with a slightly thicker bar on the right side of the card as you mentioned. To me, the slightly larger amount of boarder on the right is tolerable, so long as it isn't a sliver on the left with a huge chunk on the right. Still, that year is going to totaly be up to a buyers judgement of what they can handle.
