It's wild how the most 'important' (and most collected) card of them all, Roberto Clemente, is virtually always off-centered top to bottom. I haven't seen such a regular occurrence with any other card in that set.

(Obviously not scientific, but) here is a screenshot of consecutive graded listings on eBay right now, all with the same 'inherent lowness'...

If you ever find a truly centered one, (to bastardize 38 Special) hold on tightly!!!!

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