You beat me to it, I was going to post a poll after my comment about the Mantle. I'm guessing I'm in the minority (as usual), but I really don't care about centering. As long as the card has all of the borders that it's supposed to, it doesn't matter to me if it's 50/50 or 99/1.

So if I lock the poll right now it would be tied .

I have a feeling that would be about the only chance of it staying that way.

Default I'm a stickler on centering
I always look for a card with really nice centering.

I would prefer a lower grade card with perfect centering, over a higher grade card with poor centering any day.

Just my opinion.

One other point - I care much more about L/R centering than I do Top/Bottom.

Centering is nice, but on older cards the overall preservation of the edges and corners seems a bit harder to find. So I'm not very picky about centering.

Even on newer stuff I'll sometimes go for a miscut card over one with average centering.
