I chose 10-20% for the poll, but for the right card will pay-up more. For post war a card has to have corners and centering. Pre-war, I'll take centering over corners all day.

Wow, that’s a nice Gehrig!

I answered over 100% and it could be much higher depending on the card, and the quality of recent same grade sales. As others have said it really depends on the card, how hard it is to find centered, and the overall eye appeal. A nice dead centered 4 of iconic card hard to find centered could easily sell for more than twice what other off center cards have sold for.

These are the kind of sales people will start threads about because they don't understand the market and assume the sales were manipulated.

When it comes to vintage, I am fine with fairly off-centered cards. There's something more pure about having plenty of them in my collection (since that's what you got out of packs way back when).

And since the fakes and reprints of the hallmark vintage cards usually have great centering, off-centered versions just give me a more genuine and nostalgic feeling to see and own.

As far as eye appeal, bad stains on the back bother me more than most things.
