Similar. I mean to me, this is o/c but not egregious in terms of overall affect on eye appeal. Sharp otherwise.

A pair of high number HOF'ers that are a tad bit off-center top to bottom, but neither of which gives me any sort of pause, because the extra white involved mirrors my big-ass smile.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

What is the difference between off center and mis cut. Seems to be a grey area.

It seems a miscut is when part of the picture/border/etc. is 'missing.' If something is 99.9% off centered, but nothing is actually missing, it gets the OC. If a hair of the picture or actual border (not the 'white areas') is missing, it gets the MC.

In my 1969 WL Mantle in this thread, a tiny bit of the round number bubble on back is cut off, so it was deemed MC.

..Agreed ....we all learned fairly quickly where to send our lesser-centered '50s cardboard......I'm over-the-top mentally unbalanced about side-to-side centering but strangely I can tolerate this type of T-to-B like your Berra and Spahn ; ..
