Border Measurements and Final Grade - Response to Gemint

Fun rip. Not surprising about the centering. Hope for an 8 on the Aaron. I didn't measure it out but it's probably borderline for an 8 with no shot at 9.

I don't know how much faith can be put in measuring card borders anymore when something like this comes back as a PSA 9:

    I measure that at just better than 65/35 L/R, so it's in spec

    Did you actually measure the borders?

    They are a little more lenient on top to bottom centering with this year due to the fact there is no solid border on the bottom. The Aaron looks to be 70-30 or worse at the top (eyeball only). You can download a digital ruler for free on the internet and measure the borders using that.
