Ethan, you need to start off showing a card in these threads you start? It's ok, you are amongst friends and a few grouches. :)

Pete - that is a wonderful early Ruth card.

And I don't know about perfect centering but this one is well centered. From our BST no less...(and shown many times before)

In today's mail. Nice front with a paper pull on the back in a 2 holder...Nice centering anyway...

Nice Pete. This E121 is pretty well centered. This E220 is not centered, but it’s one of the most centered examples I have seen.

In my eyes the stains are perfectly centered on this Crescent Ice Cream card.

Hard to follow Leon's Cy, but this is one thread I can get excited about.

I knew Sam would be chiming into this thread. When I think of perfect centering, I think of his collection.

A few of mine:

Love those cards, Tony.

Centered
 

Not perfect, but tough to find a centered American Beauty.

And a well centered big border Williams.

SGC 9.5 E98 -- Cobb
 

The centering on this I think is pretty much perfect!

Here is one.

One more that was very difficult for me to find nicely centered.

Cy
 

Pretty special card.

Cobb
 

Beautiful piece of history!

As you know Pete, this 1/1 is simply amazing.

Oh Canaduh !

..nice to know that there were some centering weenies up in the Great White North back in the day..

..

Or so I think these are lol

😏

Perfect centering makes up for any other flaws that might be present on a card, as seen in this E254 Colgan's Chip of Reulbach.

Great card but not quite perfectly centered. Maybe the top is hiding under the insert? Still a wonderful card....

The question is...were these cards perfectly centered from the factory...or not????

Next question...do any of you really care?

Thanks Ethan!

I care and I am just hoping for no "before" pictures!

The real question is: do you enjoy shitting in other people’s Cheerios, Pete?

Totally agree. Pete, members were asked to share their cards in this thread yet you chose to chime in with a negative remark.

Why don’t you save your comments for a thread which better fits your post!

My favorite well centered Ted
 

I thought my 1939 playball Ted Williams was nicely centered until i saw the
Pair in this post!

Ill share my 1939 Goudey Premium instead. A real toughie.

Ted
 

Ok. Heres the pb

Two Ted’s that i have to pinch myself every time i see them... never thought they would be part of my collection!

This thread needs more Plank.

Sorry guys...sometimes diarrhea just flies out! I took an anti diarrheal!

I'm so glad that a long time ago some kids sent in their Wheaties boxtops to Battle Creek , Michigan.

..

Some amazing cards here. Real cherries. Creme de la creme. Diamonds in the rough. I can go on but words do no justice here. I’ll let the cards do the talking.

Sweet Plank!

Hi guys! This is my kind of thread. I no longer own these cards, but I was a centering junkie there for quite a while. :)

Always loved that Plank Ted. From the color to the centering, it's a blazer for sure!

Very nice!
