off-centering and CGC books

Now we have all heard that CGC does not take "centering" much into consideration compared to other flaws and structural integrity issues of a book that are penalized when a grade is assigned.

 

Case in point is this issue of Detective Comics # 153. The flying batman cover is notorious for having this production problem. Perfectl centered issues are so darn tough. But aside from the fugly centering, in my opinion, it is still barely deserving of an 8. Which makes me wonder if centering was even taken into account when this was graded.

 

So the question is how bad does "Off" centering has to be before it is penalized by CGC ?

i would call for notes because hidden flaws may be there but not visible in a slab. Off centering really don't hurt the grade.

 

On dark cover like this one, a water spot damage can easily not be seen inside a slab.

I imagine if you can see more of the back cover than you can see of the front cover, than CGC might be penalizing the book accordingly! lol

CGC does take centring into account but not to the same degree as some people. Read this thread.

Sometimes coughing up a response makes you feel better. Just to get it out of your system.
