Default T206 green portrait Cobb centering....SURVEY....updated

In a another thread the subject of centering on the Green portrait Cobb cards came up. I stated if centering is important, then the collector
should avoid the PIEDMONT 150 version of this card. I've observed that approx. 95 % of the Green Cobb cards with the PIEDMONT 150 back
are off-center to its top border (as my Cobb, shown here).
Most of the other green Cobb's with PIEDMONT 350, or SOVEREIGN 150, or SWEET CAPORAL 150 or 350, or OLD MILL will be found centered.
Note....SOVEREIGN 350 does not exist.

Listed below are links to 9 of the PIEDMONT 150 green Cobb's currently on ebay....8 are of these Cobb's are off-center and one is somewhat
centered. We'll start this survey with these 9 and we'll include mine. How about including your Green Cobb in this survey ?


9 = PIEDMONT 150 (off-center)

1 = PIEDMONT 150 (somewhat centered)

0 = PIEDMONT 150 (centered)
