As kids collecting in the late 60s and early 70s, my brother and I came into tons of 50s and early 60s cards from various sources, most of which of course were less than pristine. In those days I didn't even notice centering, but corner wear really bothered me (early sign of OCD I think). In fact, sometimes I would snip the corners of the star cards using the little scissors on my Swiss Army pocket knife lol. My mom eventually threw them all out anyway so I don't have to live to regret that I destroyed their value.
