Dead Center: Card Centering
Measure your card's centering in seconds, before you pay to grade it.
Is your card centered enough to grade? Dead Center measures it in seconds, before you pay to send it in.
PHOTOGRAPH, MEASURE, DECIDE
Line the card up in the guide and take a photo, or pick one you already took. Dead Center finds the card's edges, flattens the photo so a tilted phone can't skew the result, and measures all four borders: white, colored and silver. No card to hand? "Try a sample card" measures a made-up card that comes with the app. You get the left/right and top/bottom centering, like 55/45 or 60/40, and which way the art is off.
SAME PHOTO, SAME ANSWER
No guessing and no AI "grade". The measurement is plain geometry, so the same photo always gives the same numbers. It also tells you how sure it is: if the borders are hard to read, you'll see a ± range instead of false precision.
FINE-TUNE BY HAND
Drag any border line or card corner, with a magnifier to place it exactly. When a photo can't be read on its own, Adjust by hand shows it with the card's corners for you to place, then the border lines. A full-art card with a printed frame line can be measured to the line the same way.
