T206 Centering

[MVSNYC]

Some great examples in this thread. Paul, that card above is awesome.

Been collecting T206 since 1991...For me, I lean towards the original poster's Cobb example, equal border thickness top & sides, and a little meat below the name/team caption.

what pleases my eye the most is if side and top borders are all equal. Because of the writing on the bottom border that has more leeway to my eye.

There's also the fact that the writing (name/team caption) isn't always struck in the exact same spot. For example, Doc White Portraits typically have the writing closer to the image than Cobb (red) Portraits.

Thanks Bill, yes. Bought some of my first cards from our own Jay Wolt. I was hooked right from the start; was especially into (still am) all the different backs.
