As someone who ignores centering (as long as it's not terrible) and prefers a clean surface with nice color as a #1 priority, I've seen centering win out over creases and scuffs nearly all the time.
Being on the other side of one of the most popular aspects of the hobby really drives home how much people will pay for centering, especially when multiple examples are up for sale/auction at the same time.
It's not exactly news that centering is king, but I'm still kinda surprised how much surface damage people will ignore for centering. Some people won't even touch a card that's not mostly or totally centered. They don't even want to consider it unless it's extremely rare and even then they're looking to upgrade asap. There's a lot of them, too.
