Top/Bottom Centering on this one, opinions please?

I pulled this card today and am considering subbing it -- corners, edges, L/R all look good to me. Any opinions on T/B -- It's a newer issue (obviously) and anything short of a 10 would probably not be worth it. A 10 would probably make it very worthwhile. Even 4 or 5 cracks and resubs would still make it worthwhile.

    It does not look 50/50, maybe 55/45.

    I know that 55/45 to 60/40 technically falls into acceptable variance for centering for a 10...but in practice, is that the case?

    I also understand it's about the card, not the number on the case. However, in that there are plenty of people who pay for the case...

    FWIW, I've measured it dead on at 55/45 top bottom (54.6/45.4) and dead on 50/50 L/R

    I measured it as well and come up with the EXACT same measurements. GOOD LUCK!

    PS I don't buy much modern. What box does that come from? What does it sell for in a "10"?

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Card looks good to me - tho I'm not sure about Chromes.

    Good luck if you submit.

    Comes from 2006 Topps '52 Rookies. It's a 207:1 shot at a Gold, with 90 in the set. So one of these every 116 cases or so.

    Raw I'm guessing I could get $80-$100. In a 10 -- I'm not entirely sure....
