Mine's pretty nice, but there's still a bit of tilt.

It looks very nice to me Bob. if you detect a tilt to the card, just tilt your head in the other direction when you look at it.

The PSA 10 last sold went for a steal for registry purposes, but it wasn't a PSA 10 IMO. Had tilt and several spots of PD around the outsides if you ask me. Should have been a PSA 9 pd.

here's the full 1972 first series sheet.
Killebrew IA is on right half, column 9 row 8 and 11 John

Hey, John, thanks for posting that! Been looking for one for quite some time. In the example I created (above), I was very close to getting the proper placement right. Pretty cool.
As stated, there is a huge percentage of Killebrew IA cards that are cut on an angle, but when you look at, say, #17, Dave Duncan, cards (two of which appear in the same column as the Killer cards), they are obviously O/C virtually across the board, but there is barely an angular cut to be found in the group. Take a look here to see a whole bunch of Killebrews (with a ton of angle cuts): https://www.comc.com/Cards,sl,=1972+52 And here to see a bevy of Duncans: https://www.comc.com/Cards,sl,=1972+17 How does this make sense?? If the blade was straight and the sheet was cut on an angle, the offending angular cut of the Killebrews should appear on a similar percentage of all the other cards in the row and (most likely) on all the cards printed on the sheet. What in high heck is going on?????

Since the masks would have been done by hand, it's possible the card is a bit crooked on the sheet. I expanded to 200% and still couldn't see any difference, but it would be pretty small.

Update:
I found one of the best centered Killer cards I have ever seen. Of course, if you measure the thickness of the white areas on the sides, I'm sure mathematically speaking the tiniest hair of a left-leaning tilt would be apparent, but it is very, very close to non-existent. 1972killebrew52centered.jpg
