Default Notoriously Off Centered 1970's Topps Cards

Would like to pick everyone's brains regarding the baseball cards from the 1970's that are notoriously difficult to find well centered. Talking about the front only. I have heard of a few but I know there are a bunch more that I am not aware of. Commons, stars, HOFers...I want to hear about them.

I'll start with the ones I have heard about in my very limited exposure to these years:

1970: Most or all of the all-star cards

1971: Claude Raymond

1972: Hank Aaron In Action

1976: George Brett

1979: Ozzie Smith

Which others are incredibly tough to find centered?

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

Thanks everybody for you replies so far. Down the road once finances stabalize again I may look to do centered sets from the 70's. I'm OCD regarding centering and am slightly afraid of what I might find!

Many of the lower series IA cards from the 72 set are tough to find centered. Still looking for a nicely centered Mays IA in my price range.

Everyone is thinking it, so I'll say it...the problem with a thread like this is nobody really wants to share their 'secrets,' because then they will suddenly find themselves needlessly competing (and hence paying more) for the cards mentioned here on ebay and/or in other places.

IMO, the registries make it painfully obvious which cards are typically o/c as they are the cards with low pops in higher grades. Not sure if any secrets are being revealed in this thread as not only the registries, but past sales history make it fairly apparent which cards are tough to find centered .
