1974 Topps Bill Walton

RookieWax

I have several of these cards and most of them are centered like this on the front



and like this on the back.




I know that centering problems are common with this set. Any ideas on how the top-to-bottom centering on the back would effect the grade?

(By the way, the corners are not as bad as they look in the scan. The card has a very slight curl and that makes the corners look a bit rounded in the scan)

According to PSA's standards, centering can be as bad as 90/10 on the reverse and the card may still achieve a mint 9 grade.

As a matter of fact, 90/10 reverse centering is the standard for any grade from 2-9. That card looks about 90/10 to me, so I don't think your grade will be affected.

a sliver of border on the reverse is enough to keep it out of a MC holder, however the centering on the front and a corner touch may knock it down to a 7
