I enjoyed this post, so I thought I'd revive it with a few more cards from my collection. I know the Wehmeier isn't perfectly centered, but it's as good as I'm going to find for that particular card.

That's a pretty nice copy for sure for a real tough card to find centered.
Congrats.
Not that House cards are all that difficult to find centered, but I was really surprised this Yellow Tiger copy didn't sell for a lot more.
It wasn't listed as a YT so maybe that's why, but, imo, someone got a great deal on it, especially considering the centering and overall shape of the card.

I�m not sure how that card slipped through the cracks, but even if it is trimmed (I�m not saying that�s the case), someone got a great deal.

GM cards, imo, are pretty good with their descriptions/grades so if it were trimmed, I'm sure it would have been described as such. But, at the same time, I'm sure the odd one slips through here and there too?
I think where they missed out on getting more money/it going so cheap was the fact it wasn't listed as a Yellow Tiger House?

I had put an initial bid in when the card was first listed, but regret not bidding more seeing as where it ended. I just assumed any higher bid or my max bid would have been quickly snuffed out in the end so I didn't bother.

Interesting! I didn't care about centering as a kid (when most of us were much smarter), so I still care not a whit about centering so long as a card isn't actually miscut (worse than 99/1). Centering seems to be more of a focus for American collectors overall than for Canadian collectors.

Nonetheless I'm delighted that so many of you other collectors have a keen interest in centering. It reduces the demand for well off center cards thus making off center cards available for me at cheaper prices!

This is the only one I have and the best part is, it has the wax pack stain
