The flip is the commodity

I'm with you. My focus is on corners and whiteness/brightness while I'm easy on centering. In fact I'm delighted to get certain cards much cheaper if they're well off center.



So if anybody has any sharp, white but off center 1954-65 Baseball cards that they're willing to sell CHEAP, I may well be interested.

Dear hobby, protect this man!

Just take a look at this absolute kryptonite to centering-centric collectors.

Sharp surface, sharp image, the overlay of all the printed colors done well (notorious issue for uneven color overlay), and centering that would require a fainting couch for over half the hobby...

I'll take it...and the discount that came along with it.

Nice Leaf Pafko card...to me registration and good color are keys to me in identifying a card as aesthetically desirable. Centering is not much of a consideration.

Looking at your card, I just realized that Andy Pafko should be in the Hall of Fame, being that he was able to accomplish so much as a batter while swinging an incredibly tiny bat.
