Could someone show me examples of the centering allowance on PSA 9 and 10 cards?

Did a quick search to no avail.

According to PSA's site, centering is:

GEM-MT 10: Gem Mint
A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.

MINT 9: Mint
A PSA Mint 9 is a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders. Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.

Can someone show me these measurements or provide a link to a site that goes over it pretty well?

Thanks in advance!

I wish I had a good way to describe it, but when I'm looking at 10s, there is usually either perfect (visually undetectable) centering or almost perfect (is there... maybe? if I squint ..?) centering. If you can see it, but it seems like it falls within the PSA parameters, it's a 9.
