This is a well constructed, thought provoking thread.
I collect t206, and I would say that my preferences in card condition closely resemble yours. My set focuses on back rarity for the most part, but I have some higher graded cards sprinkled in. Inevitably, as I scroll through my cards, I find myself quickly passing by many of the higher graded cards that have centering issues, etc. That is to say that I enjoy the cards with great centering and full borders much more than those with sharper corners and 70/30 (or worse) centering. I have even ‘downgraded’ cards occasionally as you do. Perhaps I should consider doing that more often.
Can’t wait to see the rest of your cards. BTW, I like your Browne better than the other example.
