Wanted to get some opinions on this 1986 Jordan in regards to the centering and if any tilt is visible. I am seeing a few percentage points left to right in centering. Thank you in advance for the help.

As the curmudgeon of centering - and just about as anal as they get?
If you're considering this card? I'd pass - don't like the centering T/B at all; it's only off by a bit R/L - don't really see a tilt?

Ditto
<< <i>My digital caliper and math says approximately 52.1% to 47.9% L/R, and 60.3% to 39.7% T/B. Very slight left-leaning tilt possibly. >>
What type of digital caliper do you use?
<< <i>Good luck replacing your Jordan. I agree with your assessment that it will be easier to find a nice Jordan in 8 or 9 vs. another 8.5 Mantle. If you are getting a great deal on the Jordan above and are looking to flip, I would buy it. If it is going in your PC, which is what it sounds like, then I would pass on the one above. It has very average centering for an 8 and I think you would be happier waiting for a better 8 or 9 (or 8.5 which if you can find one is probably the best value for Jordan RC's). The card is always being offered in all grades and I think its prices have actually stabilized for a little while, so I don't think you risk much by passing on this one and waiting. >>
Great points and I am passing on this due to all of the great feedback above. I was thinking the same thing and grabbing an 8.5 since price wise it is closer to an 8, but features wise it will be closer to a 9. Thank you again for the advice - now just need to find an 8.5 that is centered for around VCP.
jordan rookies don't necessarily go down over extended periods of time
but w/ that being said, she wouldn't be the one that get's filed away forever in my collection,
but if the price is right and the numbers work and she could be a possible stepping stone...
then perhaps if she isn't misses right, she could be misses right now.
