The collector/dealer knows this, so he bought the full 132-card sheet specifically to try to get a perfectly centered Ozzie RC. He takes it to a professional printer/paper cutter, and has them cut the Ozzie out of the sheet, hoping for that elusive perfect centering.

This is completely different from the normal sheets of cards that Topps (or any other card company) prints, cuts, and puts into packs.
Ah I see, that makes sense. So in theory it should be pretty easy to spot that someone did this and that a TPG service should catch this? That all makes sense. Thanks for the info!
