It's a very nicely centered card, but it is wrong to say it's dead centered. It's not. My advice -- post a MUCH bigger pic and save the hype, let a good pic speak for itself.

It's a nicely centered card. It's not close to perfectly centered. I collect nicely centered cards. To say it's perfectly centered isn't correct. Here is a scan I have on my website of some of my T205s. It is a LARGE Scan I doubt many, if any, of them are perfectly centered. Ok, there might be a few to keep the argument real. But they are scarce as hens teeth!! Your card, to my naked eye, isn't close to dead centered. It's semantics but it's also what I collect...
And your challenge of finding a nicer one has nothing to do with the debate on it's centering. Nothing personal at all in all of this chatter, great debate about this stuff and one I love to have. There are so many people who say perfectly centered and 98+% of the cards in question probably aren't. I wish the sellers would say something like "great centering" or "best centering I have seen on this card" or whatever. But if you are going to throw out "perfectly centered" or 50/50 centering then it should be perfectly centered. I might give a leniency of 1% either or both ways, to attain perfect centering, due to the machines used to cut them and so forth.
Thanks again for the conversation about it.
