Is T/B centering not a factor?

If so, then yes, their (in-house) parameters say the image is pushed a little too much towards the bottom for them, but I can't imagine any 'normal' collector looking at the card and saying, "That's off-centered."

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

Yes it was, not trying to be cynical, just pointing out the insanity with centering off by a hair. I have always collected by the out of the pack condition. I cannot get the fascination of rounded corners but perfect centering is considered a better card than sharp corners but 80/20 centering. That Carter card is a great card, one I would much rather have than a dead centered 6. Just my opinion.

Grab a paddle, we're in the same boat.

Anytime I pick up a decent vintage pick up at the local mall show, I'm pretty happy. Not the greatest condition, but priced appropriately.
