The Stain-Hey Kid...
This 1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays card was expensive for having a qualifier, but the centering is nearly perfect and the stain is a non-existent, easy wipe away if/when I break it out (which I have to do anyway, because the slab is quite busted). I also grabbed the 1965 Topps #14 1964 Home Run Leaders card (wow, SF really went deep in '64), because it was cheap, especially for having a trio of HOF'ers pictured, and I've always been oddly drawn to that picture of Mays, as his look down seems kind of spiritual to me. This is my second 1974 Topps #207 1973 Strikeout Leaders card with a print defect - a bit of snow on the bright color nameplates. I mean, it's Ryan and Seaver together again, so it's a must have!! And I am thrilled to have this sharp-as-heck 1966 Topps #132 Orlando Cepeda. Technically off-center, but in no way off-centered to the 'normal' card collecting eye.

Happy Askew Year...
For my money, he has one of coolest player names ever, and this 1970 Topps #75 Lem Barney rookie represents the sixth PSA 9 (barely) OC HOFer I have from that set. The sharp-cornered, early 'Tom Terrific' card, 1970 Topps #300 Tom Seaver, is a bit pushed to the side, but since his cards continue to be crazy pricey, I was happy to grab it. And for my slowly expanding '1973 HOFers in 9 OC' collection, I not only added a pretty sweet 1973 Topps #174 Rich Gossage rookie, but also a card of a guy who held the bat strangely and seemingly never appeared in a color photograph , 1973 Topps #475 Ty Cobb.

Eights the Hard Way...
'The Chairman of the Board' has always held a special place in my heart, because we both spent our early years in Astoria, Queens, so I was happy to pick up this cool 1960 Topps #35 Whitey Ford card. Let's face it, the 1962 Topps #28 Minnie Minoso, is a god-awful headshot of the newest Hall of Famer. The look of puzzlement on his face coupled with the gallon of India ink Topps used to black out his cap makes it the exact opposite of 'good eye appeal.' But, heck, for a total of $27, I grabbed it. And now for a pair of guys, 1968 Topps #410 Fergie Jenkins and 1968 Topps #50 Willie Mays, who are able to make burlap look like a thing of beauty!!

Nines in the Pocket...
I was happy to secure the first card, a real sharp-cornered 1970 Topps #510 Tony Oliva, at a very low price just before the HOF vote was announced. The odd thing about this just-a-tad-OC 1972 Topps #163 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar card (with a looming Wilt as a marvelous co-star) is that the total POP of PSA 9's is only nineteen, with ten of them having qualifiers (probably all OC?). So you are more likely to find a PSA 9 OC than a straight 9. The awesome 1972 Topps #170 Dick Butkus card (with his face telling you he's ready to wreak havoc on the Midway) is such a great example of the simplistic beauty of that entire set, and I got it for a very small fraction of what straight 9's go for!!!

You really gotta be Carewing with me!!!
Let's see, 'Charlie Hustle,' 1969 Topps #120 Pete Rose, may have too big of a lead toward home (in other words, the image is pushed a bit to the bottom), but I am happy to have scored this card. As the title suggests, (outside of TPG parameters) you gotta be kidding me that this 1974 Topps #50 Rod Carew card is considered off-centered to any normal person. This pair of 1964 Topps Stand-Ups, Donn Clendenon (SP) and Elston Howard (reigning MVP), have easily ignored, semi-phantom gum stains on their blank backs.
