Chris CountsI am puzzled by what seems to me to be an overemphasis on centering. Some of my favorite cards are off-centered. I guess I should be thankful because I've been able to pick up cards for as little as 20% of value because of "faulty" centering. Diamond cuts are a bit more troublesome ... I almost get dizzy looking at them. But a typical OC is fine by me. I often add "OC" to eBay searches in broad categories (like "193* OC," for instance) just to see what pops up. I've also picked up cards that could have been 6s and 7s that were marked 3s and 4s without a qualifier because of centering issues.
By the way, I love the Lajoie with a "2." I'm wondering if this is the nicest "2" out there. Even the writing on the back is done tastefully. The Pipgras, though, looks short.
