At the Cleveland National a couple years ago, I picked up this card, graded SGC 45. When looking at it over the last couple years, the thing that bothers me (I'm a centering nut) is that, if you look at the interior black borders, at the top, there seems to be a slight curve on both the left and right side. This prompted me to explore upgrading, but when I look at options on the Bay, it seems this is not an anomaly. Almost all the cards I see, low grade to high, exhibit this curve. My question to the T206 experts is: is this just a coincidence with the cards I'm looking at, or is this symptomatic of all of the issues? If the latter, is there a possible reason for this "defect" based on where the card was in the sheet?

Clearly not a huge problem in my life...just curious about this and debating whether an upgrade is fruitless. Thank you for your opinions.

Here's an 8 with the same "curve." (Not mine)
