Frequently off-center cards in Topps issues, e.g., 1972 Aaron in-action

Looking to complete a run of Hank Aaron cards, I find the 1972 Topps Aaron in-action card is often off-centered (a quick look on eBay shows nearly all high-graded PSA examples are OC or MC). I've also encountered other cards in different sets that seem to be frequently off-centered.

1) Is this due to the location of the card on the printer sheet? Or something else?

2) When did Topps get better quality control to avoid these OC issues? For instance, the 10 million mid-1980s cards I have in my collection all seem pretty well-centered (10 million may be a slight exaggeration)

3) How well do card values accurately reflect this, so that well-centered copies of a card that is usually off-centered carry a significant premium?

4) What are some of the hobby's most notoriously off-centered cards?
