As I recall, it also had alluring corners and sexy registration.

This is the only card I saw sold recently at the price mentioned. The centering is off left to right. Worse top to bottom. And its tilted. But yes other than that it was well centered. Just like the PSA example.

Yeah. For me, for most cards, if it's better than 60 40 or so I'm looking more at the corners and color and registration than on how perfect the centering is. But that's just me.

I'm not saying it's a bad looking card. But once again someone has stepped up and paid a big premium for a dead centered card. The discussions are remarkably similar every time this happens. With all of the hobby knowledge on this board I'm surprised so many here don't realize there are collectors who will pay 2 or 3 times the normal selling price for a card in a specific grade for an example with elite centering. Especially if it's very difficult to find centered.

Speaking only for myself, I guess I just don't understand why a 50 50 card is worth 2-3 times a 52 48 one. I don't recall seeing that until fairly recently and I've been buying a long time.
