■HOW TO USE
1. Align the guide frame of the centering tool with the edge of the card.

3. Consult the top/bottom (bottom/top) and left/right (right/left) values in the ratio table shown on the back of the package. PSA10 (GEM-MT) is up to 60/40% (red) on the face, 75/25% on the back of the card.

Easy to use and helped me get a lot better results out of my grading. Before would get majority 9’s with a couple 10 sprinkled in, this past time I got majority 10’s which I thought would never happen.

How much! These might be good if you are collecting valuable cards but for the average kid wanting Pokemon cards after school on Friday the price of these seems a bit crazy.

As described very helpful in finding out if your cards are centred or slightly off and what the ratio is 60/40 very easy to understand instructions

This product was sent to me for review as part of the Amazon Vine program. The following reflects my real-world experience using it.In terms of quality, each 'tool' appears to have been well-made; the plastic material used has a good thickness and a sleek finish with precise lines etched onto them - ideal for accurate measurements. A choice of black and white print comes in handy for use in different lighting situations or with different backdrops.Though they were useful, I found them too be a little too 'clingy' to the trading cards, which made it slightly more difficult to measure them properly. I'm not really sure how this could be remedied (maybe if there was another piece to hold the trading card steady, perhaps?), but it was a minor issue.On the whole, though - a good item, if a tad expensive.

This is really useful with two different colours to contrast the card colours.It’s really clear and easy to understand, if the border edges of the card are within the dashed line then it has good centering.Great to use to give you a better idea of cards quality before paying and sending cards off to be graded.

Fabulous little tool for self-grading trading cards. Overlay the transparent tool and you can see whether your card is correctly centred or not.

This tool really shows me how centering works. It's not that hard to get the hang of it, but I had some difficulty using them with my Pokemon cards. The way the dark blue border of the backs of Pokemon cards just blends into the blues of the center of the backs makes it a little hard to see where the lines of the centering guide land. Still, I was able to use these effectively; it just took a lot of squinting and realigning.

There is a good amount of room for improvement on this product. The first major problem is the item came bent (as you can see in the uploaded pictures). Whoever shipped the product put it in a thin envelope which didn't offer any kind of protection so it's not surprising that it came bent. I put the cards under some heavy books so maybe in a few days they will straighten out enough to make them usable. Second issue is that the instructions aren't very clear and I had a hard time trying to figure them out. Since the problem came unusable, needs fixing by me if possible and because it still may not work even then I am giving it a 1 star.

I used it to see if some of cards are lined up correctly. I can see that the manufacturer does not always do a great job at it. For the price someone people might think it is pricey because it is plastic. But that plastic card can still make you money when you send the right cards for grading.

This item is great if you just don't have the eye for detecting centering on your cards. Perfect to test before sending your cards in for grading.Comes with one card with black text and one with white, allowing to better see the lines on cards with dark backs. However some games have light backs, so it would be a little more difficult to read.Another issue is getting the card to stay. I had several issues trying to get the card to stay in place while I applied the other centering tool.This item is crazy expensive for what you get, however. I can't see anything with this product that justifies it's $20 price tag. I could see this ranging closer to $7.

I thought Pokemon was a fad that was long gone. Turns out I was wrong. My darling great nephew is a huge collector and knows so much about it. I saw this and had to get it for him. I will see him in a couple weeks for an early Thanksgiving and will give it to him then. I am sure he will love it!!

It's going to be a while before I see just how accurate this is with grading. Based on my visuals cards matched up to about what I expected.I'll be sending some in to PSA or BSG soon. I will update when I get results back.
