I have been looking for a centered 57 Mays and this is the best I could come up with. It was one of those pictures that was shot on an angle so I had to guess how good the centering was so I took a gamble (price was right) and it turned out to be decently centered. Does anyone have a dead-centered 57 Mays? I cannot seem to find one. This Aaron rookie arrived today. I am very happy to add this one to my collection. Made a best offer price and got it for well below VCP.

Very nice centering on the 57 Mays Patrick. That is exactly what I have been looking for. I will keep looking and upgrade when I find the right one. Thanks for sharing.

Geez Matt, looks like your cards are more OCD than you are. That is Off Centering Deficient to be exact. Nice pickups!

Thx-- I compared that 6.5 Mick to the centering of every 7 on VCP and it won me over.

Now was that Aaron RC 4 up above posted by JB added late? I cannot believe I missed that card on the bay! Awesome pickup, bro. Maybe 1 in every 20 Aarons have borders balanced like that.

And both 57 Mays' are strong, but man that second one has got to be the top .000001% of centered examples of that card.

i agree with the Hank Aaron..nice, maybe the bottom left corner was not as sharp, Still take it any day.. Its as nice as mine. Congrats on the new addition.

@MattyC: well i missed out on last nights auction H&S and got outbidded after dark.
I see you like 707, was a nice Mantle grab there, but doesnt he have a premium price on his merchadise? I looked pass his stuff on Ebay all the time. Nice items he has.
I guess you didnt like my SGC60 i have for sell, i gotta sell my stuff to buy new stuff. Needless to say, window shopping is free, just controlling my ooh and ahh's.
