Me too.

Collectors tip, not so much a registry guy tip....if your 100 yrs old card is really sharp, make sure it doesn't have really small borders. I cringe at some 7s and 8s that, when I look at them, I am like - Where are the borders?

I'm actually skeptical of perfect centering, as it's often an indication that the card was trimmed.
