Which card is better centered?

Can’t decide which is better centered. Pls help. It hurts my head. (which would most people opt for having?)

#1

Card on the right here is the Mewtwo (sorry for the card on the left)

#2

They are both fairly well centered. Shadows may be making you think otherwise.

Either would be fine in my collection.

Tough call but my vote goes to #2. The left and right look a more even which is a bigger deal to me than the top and bottom. I had fun doing this lol.

2nd one.

Number 2 for sure

Bottom

Apparently the 2nd. But you gotta work on this extreme pickiness when it comes to 10s m8.

I like back centering on the first one and the front centering on the first one. Left to right looks best on top imo.

Put the scans side by side and count the pixels and set up a ratio from top:bottom and left:right for each card. That card which averages closest to 1 is best centered.

thanks everyone. the feedback is greatly appreciated! :grin:

pokemoncollector7 if I’m looking at a card as an investment and to one day sell then I wouldn’t care, however if I’m looking to add something to my collection to keep for as long as possible then I want the best looking card aesthetically. I know I’m picky but it depends on what the card is also. I’m obviously not going to be picky if a Trophy Kangaskhan comes knocking at my door or a snap card but as for cards which are of higher prevalence and not as scarce I would search for the best one I can find, I don’t see any harm in that personally.

@festa don’t let anyone tell you how picky you should be. There are plenty of us who are the same way and until now I’ve seen someone complaining about it.

Just get both :grin:

#2

The front of #2 looks better imo.

I like you already

It was just a suggestion. It seems like it would be a bit of a barrier to any collector.

Definitely the 1st one, both vertically and horizontally, on the the 2nd card the left side is definitely narrower than the right and at the same time the top is narrower than the bottom.

Why are people choosing the 2nd ?

The card is tucked behind in the case on the right side in the 1st card if thats your reason.

I think it is in part due to how off centre the back of the first one is. I can’t be certain of that though

I tried to get the images side by side and around the same size here (I just cut and stuck them on a paint file, hence why the left one is blurry). I also drew a line roughly where the card would end if shadowing from the case wasn’t in the way.

You don’t want to do that for me, do you? :stuck_out_tongue:
I’m not sure how to or what program I could use to count the pixels :confounded:
