Levi has a premium for sure, but when the card truly merits it, I have no problem buying it. For example, the 6.5 Mick 1962 ran me higher than any 6.5, but still less than what 7s cost-- and it looked better than all the 7s I could find. That's when I am okay pulling the trigger. Of course would rather win it for less at auction, where most people shop by VCP grid like it's The Bible. That's when you can pay less of a premium, as opposed to when a collector or dealer knows what he has and doesn't have to sell, unless they get the premium they feel the card deserves.
I gotta say that aside from amazing service, communication, and just being nice to talk to about cards and stuff, the cards I've gotten from Levi are all specimens where the centering simply cannot be improved. For someone who looks at his cards for enjoyment as much as I do, I gotta have that even framing-- plus I just love the rarity of a centered card as compared to all the other copies of it out there.
