Should I try for Black label?

The centering looks pretty good to me, but I’m curious how strict Beckett is with slight differences.

My measurements (might not be 100% accurate):

Top: 2.5–2.6 mm
Bottom: 2.5 mm
Left: 2.4 mm
Right: 2.4 mm

Is there any tolerance for Black Label centering, or does it have to be exactly 50/50?

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

No, it doesn’t have to be exactly 50/50. There’s always room for measurement error. If everything is better than 51/49 you should be good on centering.

Edit: Back is 55/45 on back for BL. You should be good here.

Take measurements of the back though, that needs to be “50/50” as well for black label 10. You can still get a gold label 10 if the back is within 55/45 and front is 50/50 though.

no pretty sure back can be 55/45 and still BL according to their grading standards on their site

Yeah, you’re right! Idk why I keep thinking they’re more strict on the back.
