Personally I’ve seen a handful of #101’s well centered and pulled two myself from bags back in the day. See pic below, sold at Heritage a few years back. Overgraded (due to corners and not gem centered), but my best one in terms of centering. I agree, they are quite rare to find centered though, and even the nicer ones left-to-right usually have a very minor tilt.
Now I’ve NEVER seen the other two Jordans in that base set centered, the #195 and #288. Never. I have seen a few that were centered, even in BGS holders, but there’s no question in my mind that they had their wider side trimmed to make them look close to 50/50 left-to-right. As far as I’m concerned, legitimately centered 195s, 288s do not exist unless hand cut from the excess sheets Schonco and others purchased or they were trimmed.
