We're both very discerning collectors. And even if he wasn't, it would matter to me that I got him the best. I'm not collecting for profit, but that doesn't mean I'm about to buy a subpar card either. I think that's like throwing your money away. Centered examples of any card sell far better than OC, to state the obvious.
If there are indeed centered examples of the '53 Adcock to be found, then I'd prefer wait to either find one, or get him a different card. But if he is to be found only off centered, because of the manner in which the cards were cut from the sheet, then obviously I have to adjust my standards to meet the circumstances.
