Snowman-

I know that you’re a big fan of centering. When it comes to a card like this, how do you evaluate centering? In particular, it seems like the upper black line slants upwards as it moves across from left to right. Not sure if this is just an optical illusion that I’m seeing, but would be interested in your thoughts about whether the top/bottom centering should be measured on the left side, the right side, or in the middle.

My favorite card in the hobby is this one. I wish I owned one of the two known examples, but alas I do not.

Hey Raulus, on the 52 Jackie specifically, they all have that uneven top boarder, it's part of the design on that card. Any copy in which the bottom inner image is parallel with the bottom edge of the card, the top inner image is always uneven like that.
