Am I Missing Something or is the Centering off badly? 0

I'm happy with the triple 9.5 in corners, edges, and surface, but I'm having a hard time seeing how it got docked down to an 8.5 on centering. I'm aware it's not a 10 in centering by any means, but I was expecting a 9 or 9.5 on the centering grade. Could someone help me out with where the centering went wrong? Thanks!

Look at the top on the back of the card. The left side is smaller compared to the right side. Looks like it's rotated instead of the normal shift to left right up or down... still a great looking card!

Yeah, I can see why you think you got hosed, looks like a 9 centering at first.  But when you look closer you can def see that it is tilted/slanted/rotated on the back a little and for that I think is why you got an extra .5 deduction.  For sure not deserving of a Gem Mint status.

Thanks for the help! I can see the tilting a bit after looking at it some more.

the card is crooked. looking at the back you can see it is slightly off from the top left corner to the top right corner, on a downward slope.
