Again, it's all SUPPOSITION. Without question, the vast majority of 1972 Killebrew IA cards (it would have to be waaaaay north of 95%, but again, that's just supposition) left the Topps factory off-centered and/or tilted. The only extant (don't you love people who use that particular word) picture of an uncut sheet available shows the two #52 cards on it properly aligned. You can argue about it as much as you want, neither of them appear tilted to the left. They are straight. So (whoops, I think it's bad form to start a sentence with "So") whatever caused the output of Killers that year to be horrible doesn't change the fact that I finally found one that is absolutely beautiful. In the end, I am as happy as a clam to have one. Nothing else about it really matters.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
