One quick way to tell if a Pokemon card is centered is by looking at the borders around the edge of the card. The border should be of equal width on all sides. If one side is visibly thicker or thinner than the others, then the card is off-center. A good trick is to flip the card over and compare the back side as well, since misalignment can be more noticeable there.
I found out one of my rare cards was slightly off-center by using a caliper, which measures the borders accurately. It's a bit overkill for casual collectors, but if you're into the details or thinking about getting your card graded, it's a handy tool.
