In an attempt to enter the Canadian baseball card market,
Donruss created a special version of its cards (1985 Leaf) just for
Canada. Except for a colorful green leaf on front, the Leaf card
fronts were nearly identical to Donruss but on the back, the Leaf
cards were in both French and English.

Centering is presented as a set of numbers & directions and often included with the grade. Perfectly-centered is "50/50 t/b" AND "50/50 l/r". As centering gets worse, one number increases and the other decreases. For example: 90/10 t/b is considered extremely off-center top to bottom. The numbers add up to 100 (50/50, 60/40, 90/10 ...).
