If that's 130-190, I agree. Most of those cards are very tough to find centered, I have very few.

P.S. That might be the nicest Pafko I've seen.

Thank you Al, the Pafko is a special card. And you�re right, 131-190 is the third series. It�s a challenge to put it charitably.

I believe you're the guy, Skelly, I was thinking of.

Glad to see you are off to a great start with those great looking centered cards. Certainly not easy to come by as you likely know all to well now.

And yes, as Gord, mentioned, that is one heck of a Pafko card!
Congrats on your pick ups so far.

Great looking centered cards too, Larry.
Thanks for sharing.

My favorite card in the set. Sadly it is no longer mine. It is one of the very few cards I regret getting rid of.

I wouldn't sweat it, Ben. It's a little thin on the bottom.

Here are a few of my Series 3 cards. These have narrow borders, but others it seems do not.

Saul Rogovin is another card that came to mind that has unusually thin borders.
A real tough card as well to find centered.
