This is a bit later but I’ve got a number of trainer cards that are perfectly centered in terms of naked eye appeal. So I’m guessing what they’re looking for is cards that are centered well without any knowledge of the trainer overlay messing things up. If it’s technically off centered then i guess that’s what they’re calling 10s 🤷♂️
All of those slabs are members of the community who have submitted through us! So when they return, we label them so we know who owns what as we go through them live.
That's why you grade strictly AI these days. I get better money on my MANA cards than BGS cards, although it's all personal preference. But, with AI, it can be proven that a card is perfect. Lasers, not rulers. Measures down to .0000000000001 mm. We don't need humans and subjective grading. I'm not swapping out my BGS Black labels for onyx labels because AI is strict, but they are consistent and accurate. Consistency being the most important aspect of grading. Human grading packs consistency.. and therefore, the grades don't mean a whole lot. You shouldn't be able to crack a 2 and get an 8.5. but TCA gaming just did that. Pointless numbers unless a robot grades your card. Unfortunately most my slabs are PSA, BGS, and CGC. But, forward looking, I only go AI.
I honestly didn't even know a 6.5 on centering was possible or even existed

Why do you have names on the back of all your slabs?

They aren't thinking and that's why they are dying. Sgc is better than beckett at this point
How long did your return take?
I want to say 3 - 4 months, but would need to check to be sure. BGS is usually in that timeframe for us.
