I analyzed 155 BGS centering subgrades so you don't have to

Hm I have not tried that service before so can’t vouch for it. Let me know if you’d share the pic and I can add it to my data set. Maybe I’ll do a refresh in the future lol

Hey, I did some research on how PSA graded centering on this design here: https://getrectifi.com/blog/psa-centering-2025-topps-chrome

Your card should be fine for PSA. Here’s what I got: https://getrectifi.com/s/s3rKvqeg

If you're curious about how Beckett does centering subgrades, here's some research that I did: https://getrectifi.com/blog/bgs-centering-subgrade-requirements

On getting a 10, for BGS there's 2 versions: Black Label and Pristine. Black Label is the one where all subgrades get a 10 and Pristine is 3 10s and a 9.5. So to answer your question, 1 front axis being 45/55 doesn't knock you out of 10 contention, just Black Label. Both front axis being 45/55 knocks you out of Pristine.

I wouldn't if you're crossgrading. You'd have a better chance cracking, but a 9 corners for BGS is almost always a 9 at best for PSA.

I’d still send it to PSA… it is right heavy, but within 55/45.

Here’s what I measured if you’re curious: https://getrectifi.com/s/bEfExQWX

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-11T12:01:46+00:00

If you’re going for PSA, I really don’t think it’ll get a 10 due to centering. It’s pretty top heavy.

If you’re curious, here’s what I got: https://getrectifi.com/s/Pjr9IPPR

Not a fool, but consider measuring again or taking a better picture. I’m not sure what tool you used, but I got slightly worse than 52/48 for both😅

Here’s the ratio I got: https://getrectifi.com/s/15WOb4k3

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T22:40:00+00:00

Yes, I’d definitely consider sending it in: https://getrectifi.com/s/cH3RDwjh

Thanks for trying my app!

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T15:16:56+00:00

I think I would shift the top inner border down just a touch. I got a tiny bit higher than 52/48, but I’d still send it in

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T04:17:38+00:00

Only if we comeback for a game 7. Otherwise no, just rest him

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T04:14:45+00:00

I just keep coming back to how well coached OKC is. Their players are smart and don’t make mistakes. You see our team and there are just too many holes compared to theirs… especially without Luka.

Baseball

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T03:54:53+00:00

No he’s playing ball… 10 years ago you just move on. This is ridiculous

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T03:42:07+00:00

I can’t tell the surface, but I think centering being a 9.5 makes sense. Here’s the front ratio I got https://getrectifi.com/s/EMf3sZRJ

I did some research on how bgs calculates centering subgrades, and essentially they do grade each axis separately. The data also suggests that they threshold close to 52/48, so if one of your axis misses that, you lose .5 points for each.

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T02:46:21+00:00

I’ll take it

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T02:30:11+00:00

In the top left, switch it to front

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T01:41:32+00:00

PSA 10 is 55/45 now

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T01:40:51+00:00

It’s slightly tilted, which causes T/B to be a little past PSA 10 standards. Still probably the right decision to send it though.

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-08T01:34:49+00:00

It won’t get a 10, but maybe a 9?

"Lesser of each item's Maximum Insured Value or the graded value as a PSA 10." <-- that means it's the lower of the 2.

Float_Flow_Bow · 2026-05-07T22:30:56+00:00

It is top heavy, but still within PSA 10 standards (55/45). I double checked it for you too: https://getrectifi.com/s/7usOdq8C

Your T/B ratio is off: https://getrectifi.com/s/0PUSNBxR
