Good call. Only MC on the back. Sometimes even if it's close on the front, it can be hard to tell with '53 Topps because many of the backgrounds have similar colors as the borders.

Thanks, it's nice to have someone agree that I made the right call. I thought it over for a long time before I bought it.

If you like the way a card looks, don't overthink it. Most of the detailed fretting collectors get into over something like centering is the result of collective bias. Nobody anywhere ever said that a particular card has to be perfectly centered to be beautiful.

The 53 Paige above and the Clemente rookie are both, off the charts!
Congrats guys.
