E92 -- Off-center Backs

How normal/unusual is it to have card reverses as off-center as is shown in the following E92 auctions:

I personally only have a few off center backs but not to this extent. As far as the off centering being common I would say no. The real nice thing about this lot is, they must have come from the original owner, because if you look at the backs you will see that three of the cards line up almost perfectly vertical. So if you are a collector of pieces that show how these cards were made, then this is the lot for you. If your collecting for the set or signals then I would consider the off center backs to be a bad thing. It looks like a very nice lot.
Happy Collecting!

Of all the E92's I've seen (or had) the Croft's Cocoa is by far the worst as far as back centering. Don't think that it's that unusual to find them uncentered like these.
