The centering / tilt problem as a combo seems particularly prevalent in the higher series. Will agree with you on the Nolan Ryan card, I finally got an SGC 7.5 that I’m happy with. Centering and tilt are not 100% perfect, but it’s close enough. The card also has rough cut edges, which some people don’t like but they’ve never bothered me.

Particularly with that #595 card, even examples in super high grade slabs can have noticeable tilt. It’s about enough to drive you nuts.
