That is not a 10…
Please wake me up . I see and read “JAPANESE Pokemon 1996 MACHAMP PSA 10 GEM MINT No Rarity Symbol”. What do I miss ?
I think it might have been a comment in reference to the centering of the card, which I have to agree is pretty poor.

So PSA 10 is not a PSA 10 ?. Can you ask for a refund 
Centering isn’t always a 10 breaker, but some people are picky about it. Somewhat of a preference

It is a PSA 10. He is just surprised that it got a 10 with the centering.

Then it’s the verdict of the mathematician. 
GEM-MT 10: Gem Mint
A PSA Gem Mint 10 card is a virtually perfect card. Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss. A PSA Gem Mint 10 card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn’t impair the overall appeal of the card. The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.
We already went throught this bud. That Machamp is not a 10. Case closed.
We already measured the card?
Just look at it.
Why is it not a 10?
Their eyes apparently double as calipers and they “just know” it doesn’t meet centering requirements for a ten.
It’s not hard to measure it out. I say naysayers just measure it and prove it definitively one way or another.
That’s reasonable but the 60-40 centering is an “approximate” parameter, not set in stone.

This is pretty important information.
Thank you.
Sure:)
It’s actually phrased like this, “…be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.”
Of course we’d all like 50/50;)

LOL, who wrote that grade description? What a joke.
“The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front”.
Let’s give a range that it can’t exceed but put “approximately” for maximum vagueness and nonsense. Why give a range if it can be outside it? Why not say a tolerance not to exceed approximately 65%? I understand not having a firm number, but to give a range that you clearly go way outside is a joke. Someone do some fancy photoshop pixel counting work on this and get an actual number. I would love to hear it and IMO a complete wild ass guess puts this card at 70/30 and PSA’s cred at 10% at best.
