Many vintage cards are like small works of art. You wouldn't hang a painting on the wall at an angle, or with a frame with one side bigger than the other . Why settle for an off centered card?

When I first joined the site and was learning, I couldn't believe OC cards were graded so harshly considering that is the way they came from the factory.
I could easily understand dinged corners, creases and other issues as they were the direct result from human interaction, but, like new cards that were just OC from the factory surprised me.
I get it though, you can't grade a card a 10 that is perfectly centered and also grade one that isn't.
