This thread is very enlightening. Until I looked through my 1960 Topps binder after starting to read it, I didn't realize how off-centered the vast majority of my 'big-money' cards were. Yowza!!! Virtually all would have to be replaced in a perfect world.

In all of Bobby's group subs, only 5 of my cards were centered-enough 1960 Topps to make the cut. That says it all. Here are four from before the grading. The Ford and Conley variation came back PSA 8s (although the Conley is the closest thing to perfect you'll ever see), the Yaz RC a PSA 4.5, and the Mick (schmutz is on the holder) a PSA 5...

(If anyone cares, the fifth card was the #563 Mantle AS that was a bit more OC than these and came back a PSA 6.)

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
