1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain #8

Centering immediately hits as off, and I see PD in the right side of the background.

Very nice card. Also, a poster child for limitations of valuing cards based on their TPG grade.

Obvious left to right shift. Surface snow, rough edges (which may or may not be natural to the card cut), along with a damage mark to his left extended arm hurt the appeal.

As the site guidelines say, look at the card, ignore the third party grading sticker. What I see then is a solid B. The centering is clearly off to any eye, and there is also noticeable speckling in the background. The corners are strong, the edges, too, I could maybe go B+ at best. But this is simply not the best to the eye, even thought it was deemed the best to the grading company.

surface and off centering

One of the most ridiculously graded cards I've ever seen. PSA is such a joke and this is perhaps THE prime example. Snow/surface wear in multiple locations, registration shift in the burgundy print, print defects above the team name and on his arm. Tilt to the image. 39/61 centering, and bat-eared corners? PSA 10! LOL

The off centering grabs you in a bad way.

great looking card. and love the edges corners and overall look. THe centering is slightly off and normally would not bother me but with such a great looking card the details start to pop out more

That centering shift is really glaring when your eye compares the side border widths at the top of the card. Plus there's "snow" in the top right of the background behind Wilt. Is it a sharp-cornered card? Most definitely. Does that centering and speckling draw the eye in a less than pleasing way? Most definitely. For my taste, and the cards I like to stare at for enjoyment, I'd trade some of that corner sharpness for perfect centering and then it would be A++.
