Warshawlaw: regarding mortals: I remember when I first started viewing my (leftover from childhood) 50s Topps regarding centering. As was dictated by Becketts. It took a while, but eventually I noted the difference.

To this day, I do not agree with their (ie. the grading company's) emphasis on this manufacturing characteristic. That is, I agree with Lew Lipsett: If it is as manufactured, it is mint.

Edited to add: I did not contact Lew to request that he restate this philosophy, again.
