To me, it's much easier to find decently centered 50's cards (the '56 Topps set is a good example...) than anything 1960 or later.

I know for all the vintage sets I'm currently working on (right now mainly '67 and '72 Topps) both centering and tilt / diamond cut issues are a huge problem.
My '67 Brooks isn't centered great, but the image is nice and moderate OC has never bothered me anyway. I overpaid simply because I decided I had to have this card at about the height of the bubble back in 2020:
