Understanding Card Centering with the Right Tools

Card centering is calculated by measuring the borders of a card to determine its balance. For example, if the left and right borders are each 3mm thick, the card has a 50/50 left/right centering, meaning each border occupies 50% of the total width. Using a precise card-centering tool helps collectors achieve accurate measurements and ensures their cards meet grading standards.

How to Use a Card Centering Tool for Trading Cards from Mr.Minty:

1. Place the Tool Over the Card: Start by carefully placing the centering tool over the trading card. Ensure the tool's edges align with the card's borders for accurate measurement.

2. Align the Tool's Markings: The centering tool typically has grids or lines to help measure the card's margins. Align the lines on the tool with the card's edges to check if the borders are evenly spaced.

3. Check the Card's Centering: Observe the distance between the card's edges and the tool's markings. If both sides have equal space, the card is well-centered. If not, note which side is larger or smaller to determine the centering ratio.

4. Adjust Your Positioning: If you're prepping cards for grading, use the centering tool to identify which cards need repositioning in their holders for optimal presentation.

5. Repeat as Needed: Use the tool on multiple cards to ensure consistency, especially if preparing a set for grading or display.

By following these steps, you can quickly assess the centering of your trading cards to ensure they meet collector standards, and you are one step closer to having a minty collection!
