Centering

I�m in the pack fresh over centering camp. Always have been. I don�t remember centering being as big an issue prior to professional grading companies but I may be wrong.
Fortunately it makes participating in the hobby easier on the wallet.
In the 80s I absolutely did not even notice centering or realize it was even a thing. Now since I�ve seen it�s important to lots of collectors I pay more attention since I sometimes sell. I wish I could go back to being oblivious to it ha.

As has been said, centering seems to be more important on stand alone, key cards, than on more common ones. Only a fool would try to do a whole set with great centering.
