Pokémon Card Centering Measurements — 320 eBay Listings, PSA-Window Pass Rates (2026)
Measured front-centering data for 320 Pokémon card eBay listing photos across 302 distinct cards, computer-vision-measured (corner detection + perspective correction, not estimated): left/right and top/bottom border share for each. 48.1% clear PSA's Gem Mint 10 centering window (worst side within 55/45); 89.7% clear the Mint 9 window (60/40). Sampled from cards a buyer had already flagged as promising candidates, so this is an optimistic ceiling, not an eBay-wide average — stated explicitly so nobody cites it as the latter.
Data: `gemsnipe-card-centering-measurements.csv` — one row per measured listing photo, 320 rows, 302 distinct cards. Measurement window: 2026-03-07 to 2026-07-15.
Column notes — please read before citing
Sampling caveat, stated plainly. These are cards a human buyer already pulled up as gem-mint candidates before measuring — not a random draw from all Pokémon card listings on eBay. That means the 48.1% PSA-10-window pass rate is an optimistic ceiling for hand-picked candidates, not an eBay-wide average; a random listing would very likely clear the window less often. Rows come from a CV pipeline (corner detection → perspective correction → border measurement) that only reports genuine measurements — placeholder/failed detections are excluded at the source, never included and never loosened to grow the count.
