Centering
Is the most important thing about a card centering?
If it is not near perfect centering, it probably will not get my dollar. I find this is more true the older I get.
I now won't buy a card that is worse than 55/45 centered. I usually end up eventually selling the 60/40 or worse stuff. But the better than 45/55 stuff makes it to the safe deposit box.
I would consider buying a PSA 1, if awesome centering. I would not even consider a PSA 8 that is worse than 60/40. Since I am not a set collector, I am not forced to fill a hole with a sub-par card. I can understand set collectors buying off center stuff.
I saw a PSA 8.5 that was 60/40 with tilt cut, yes tilt cut - couldn't believe it.
Is centering the most important factor for you? If not, what?
