Does Anyone Else Center Things As We Do Our Pre War Cards?

[Leon]

Question?

I find myself centering all kinds of stuff and I think it's from the hobby. Anyone else?
Show a well centered card, if you care to...

If the question pertains to things outside the hobby, my political views have tended to become more centered. What are the things on your list?

No, No, No ...not politics. I mean on everyday stuff. I guess it's symmetry I look for. When I position things on tables, or look at non-card things and kind of think about them being off center or centered.

Couple of my low-grade beauties with exceptional centering to make up for their flaws:

I can live with 55/45 centering - I’m equally vigilant about print dots

Yes, my centering OCD carries into everyday life, I suppose you could call it spatial ocd, everything has to have balance. Posted the 57 because that's a super tough card to find centered.

Oh man, my OCD (Obsessive Centering Disorder) has been triggered.

I like my print dots well centered, and that goes for printed material that is not a vintage card as well.

Ideally the print dot on this card would be just above the right corner of Satchell's lips.

As one of the weirdo collectors that puts a high premium on image clarity and surface quality (especially on the front), I appreciate the nice "deals" on the less centered pieces that aren't chased by the higher-end collectors.

Stay centered guys. I'm out here picking up your scraps.

Being a collector and being OCD go hand in hand.

Brewsters parents got the center white stripe down the snoot almost perfect

Your sensationally symmetrical dog is staring straight into my soul.

Hi Leon,

Yes, I have OCD about lining things up properly on a table like you. Pens, papers, etc. I don't typically care if a card is centered or not though. This is one of my E98s that is pretty well centered imo.

Just saw this thread. 100% Leon, I need to have symmetry with everything!! Everything on my desk, my bureau, my bar, has to be positioned a certain way. Definitely a form of OCD and my kids know it and will move items on my desk because they think it's funny and they know that I can't work until I reposition everything!

[Leon]

That's funny!

Symmetry is a thing. This one has a big top which is the way I usually collect them
