Exactly...

For my sets I go for or will upgrade in the following order -

1. Creases (NO CREASES)
2. Corners
3. Centering
4. Gloss

I do upgrade anything off center to the point the border is gone or barely there. But I'd take an OC with sharp corners and no creases all day long vs a card with soft corners and a wrinkle that is centered.

Some cards I've seen I just don't get where the grader can say OC...
