I chose "A" because I 'm more lenient on top to bottom centering. If it was L-R centering or skewed, I would probably have chosen "B"

I would take B. Centering trumps corners for me.

"A" for me. As others have stated top to bottom centering doesn't bother me as much as side to side does. Here is the green Cobbie I finally decided on for my collection. I'm very happy with it.........

The current Goodwin auction has two Matty Portraits: a PSA 5 that is well centered and an SGC 70 (5.5) that is off-center.

With roughly two weeks to go, the PSA 5 is at $1129 while the SGC 70 is at $368. We'll have to wait until the end to know for sure...

Tony, your example just shows how much this is a matter of personal preference. I personally don't like T206's with large top borders and short bottoms; however, the green Cobb that I chose for my collection is almost an exact duplicate of the one Ted posted, and I never was concerned about the short top.

I had this green Cobb in my 2nd set of T206's (hybrid back set). In 2005, when broke up this set in order to start on my adventure of an all - PIEDMONT set, I searched
for a better centered PIEDMONT 150 green Cobb. That's about the time that I observed that a fair majority of these PIEDMONT 150 Cobb's were O/C to the top border.
Sure, I came across a few that were centered; however, not as sharp looking as the Cobb I have.

Furthermore, I bought this Cobb years ago. I paid only $200 for it. "It don't come easy" (Ringo Starr, circa 1971) anymore to acquire a green Cobb at a price that low
