Thanks Darren. I figured if anyone could empathize with "low" centering, it would be you. Actually I found it interesting in my research on this card (uh, obsessively looking at graded copies...) that the majority of them are centered a bit high t/b. Even higher grade copies. Once every 10 cards or so you will find one centered like this one. Also interesting, the very light speckle of pink print dust on the upper border on this card also appears on many of them that have a slightly thicker upper border. I could spend hours and drive myself nuts just trying to find patterns in print oddities.
But yes thank you, very happy with the card. It's got a lot of NM qualities, including the corners - but I think the centering would hold it at a 6 if I sent it in. Which isn't happening, at least anytime soon...
