Default Centered?
First off, I'll say this is a really nice card. That being said, WTF constitutes for "centered" these days? I'm willing to give someone 60/40 even.......but this is a bit silly.

I apologize if this is a board member's card. But I kind of doubt it, given the title.

Just keyword spamming given the craze. I am sure the seller knows it isn't centered.

With all the talk of PWCC's various letter codes, I think stuff like this is worse because the card just isn't centered. And it happens a lot, on eBay and elsewhere...

It's ALL really harmless sales talk, and while I don't shop PWCC stuff, especially the high priced stuff that gets letters added like it has a degree, I'm guessing at least those cards have a chance to live up to the hype. Describing a card like this as "centered" is just laughable, unless that adjective is preceded by "not."
If I'm in the market for a card, I might click on something that is described as "centered," but I pay no mind to any "X3JDKD" or whatever acronym a seller comes up with. I'd expect it be, you know, centered.

What do you guys think about these two examples? As you can see, one has been deemed in the " top 15% " by a particular seller that is being discussed. I am actually inclined toward the other one. A little extra bottom border bothers me not.

Centering isnt so black and white on tobacco/caramel sized issues imo. Some people prefer a larger lower border than others... as compared to even borders all around.

I was actually editing my post to say just that when you replied. I agree.
