Hey guys. I have the card back in hand and I was hoping some of yall could help me tell what % this is centered on the front and back. From memory when I sent it off I thought it was about 75/25 but not sure now. Wasnt there a tool that could give the exact %s?
It looks similar to the Payton Rookie on the back. Could my brown have a chance at a review or crack and resub for a second opinion? and the Montana PSA 10?

    The centering appears to be 50/50 percent side to side, and 55/45 percent top to bottom, on the front. It also appears to be 65/35 percent side to side, and 60/40 percent top to bottom, on the back. The image is a little blurry.

    Yeah my scanner isnt that nice of a scanner, and these new PSA cases seem to show up blurry. Mainly the back scans as it it lifted a little. Also I did the remove dust feature and it made the B and A in Fullback filled in. But is not the case in hand.
    65/35 on the back is better than I thought.
    Did you use a tool or do it by eye?

    I did it by eye. Let's wait and see what others have to say about it. You may be right about the back. It appears to be closer to 75/25. I am having some difficulty seeing where the edge of the card is located on the right. Regardless, it is a beautiful card. I already commented on it in your other thread. Congratulations Handyman. Nice job. image

    Derek,

    J-Ruler is the program to use.

    As Mikey stated, it's a bit blurry so the measurements may be off.

    I measured each one at it's worst point.

    The results are as follows:
    FRONT - L/R = 48/52; T/B = 48/52

    BACK - L/R = 67/33; T/B = 55/45

    STAY HEALTHY!

    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.

    I would crack and resub that card at least 20 times until it came back a 10.

    It may not be the centering that resulted in a grade of PSA MINT 9 instead of a grade of PSA GEM-MT 10. It may not give the appearance of having its full original gloss. Also, the back of the card appears to be slightly off-white.

    Yeah my scanner blows.
    Here are pics with my ipad. Hope it helps.
    Gloss is super shinny as heck.
    Thanks for measuring, That makes me feel better. I was wondering if it was the back centering being an issue.

    Congrats on getting your Jimmy Brown graded a PSA 9.

    I'd be willing to buy your Jim Brown 9 for $1500 , m.o, paypal, or personal check payment.
    Lmk/ pm me please. I know this is well above vcp, but your card deserves to be priced at a premium
    and I'm willing to pay for the better quality.

    I've owned three different 9's of this card, and I think yours is right up there with the best I've seen over the years.

    And no, I'm not a guy that has cards bumped. I'd be buying for my personal collection.

    Centering on the back should not be an issue. The only thing that I can think of is the off-white appearance of the back of the card.
