How important is centering to you? Green Cobb choice

When cards are close in condition I prefer better centering, as most members so far in the poll do.

I understand everyone has differing collecting habits, I am just saying from my mindset I can't equate pre-distribution errors (factory flaws) with post distribution flaws.

Leon you seem to be an enigma to me. I am relatively new to the boards but I have seen you show printing freaks (like your multi-printed back t206 Mullaney), but now you talk about the aesthetics and refer to production flaws to be equivalent to post distribution flaws. (Not judging your collecting, but I was surprised to see that you were on the pro centering side of the coin)
