My recollection based on your past studies is that the percentage is incredibly small. Like a tiny fraction of a percent. And I've got to imagine an even smaller fraction currently resides in SGC holders.
Based on those estimates, it seems like your hypothetical fact pattern is unlikely to occur more than once in a blue moon.
But it's definitely a fun thought exercise!

Definitely a small percentage, and of course it depends on what you consider perfectly centered. Snowman says he has 50/50 cards, but I've never seen him post one. This 52T Bruce Edwards, which is in a PSA 5.5 slab, is 48/52 top to bottom and 49/51 left to right, with a slight tilt from top left to bottom right. To give you an idea of rarity, I would guess I've looked at 30-40,000 52T cards, and have 50 this nice.
I'm not sure what to make of that though, in terms of overall percentages. I expect that the really nicely centered cards tend to stay in collections longer than the run-of-the-mill cards.
