Default Worst O/C Post-War Set

From your experience which post-war set suffers the most from bad centering. I'm not really sure which is why I started this but I know '57s are bad in this area. Any other notoriously poorly-centered sets?

Seems like it's a problem with '53 topps as well, IMO...

Maybe it is just me, and the certain cards I collect from this set, but I feel that 1961 Topps has a lot of centering issues.

Any set created by O-Pee-Chee.

I think they used a pair of pliers and a dull machete to cut their sheets up.

As you pointed out to me a long time ago Pat...there are many 1971s with poor centering!

1948 Leaf isn't great either. Definitely agree w/r/t 1961, esp the Yankees I've been after. Seems most every Skowron is o/c.

1980 is really tough too, believe it or not. I went through a couple thousand I had at one point looking for slab-worthy cards and I only found one that had centering meriting a potential 9 grade.

1984 Donruss has major centering (and diamond cut) issues.

1975 Topps Minis have to be really high on the O/C list too...

IMO, '61, '71 and '67 Topps in that order.

I've been looking for 1955 Topps to upgrade my set, and many of those are o/c.

I think all Topps (all years , especially I remember 1981,1978), Donruss ( many years)- especially 1981.
