I'd call mine (Piedmont 150) at least somewhat centered. Back is clean and centered perfectly. Buy the card, not the holder...by the way. Certainly one of the nicer looking 1's I've seen. Story for a different thread I suppose

Default T206 green portrait Cobb centering....SURVEY....updated
Several of us T206 "dinosaurs" got together for an old-fashioned swap meet here in Pennsylvania this past weekend. I got six new inputs
to this survey from this group. Furthermore, I obtained 15 inputs from calls to fellow T206 collectors (who are mostly not Net54 members,
but are known of by some Net54er's). I'll name eight of them .... John Dorsey, Tom Faith, Don Flewelling, Dave Hayward, Bob Krause, Greg
Lacivta, Mark Macrae, Ralph Triplette, etc. Lest, a certain party here (with an agenda) chimes in and accuses me of...."ARBITRARILY PUL-
LING OUT NAMES FROM NOWHERE".

Here's how I acquired my first Cobb. In 1982, at a small BB card auction in Toms River (NJ) I won a green Cobb for an unbelievably low bid.
Most at this auction were interested in the Pete Rose rookie and the 1982 Topps black ink variations. This Cobb was a PIEDMONT 150, it
was off-center, and in VG condition. I sold this Cobb at the Willow Grove show, and bought an Excellent Cobb from Wayne Miller. The Cobb
I got from Wayne was a PIEDMONT 150, and it too was off-center (to its top border).

My curiosity was aroused, so I have been tracking green Cobb's since the early 1980's. I have seen several 100's of the green Cobb cards.
The PIEDMONT 350, SOVEREIGN, and SWEET CAPORAL green Cobb's are usually centered. I cannot vouch for the OLD MILL version, as I've
seen very few of them.
Look, we can continue to run this survey to "infinity"....or, when we run out of green Cobb's....whichever occurs first
The result will still be the same..approximately 9 out of every 10 green Cobb's (with PIEDMONT 150 backs) will be off-center to its top border.

Even based on your relatively low sample size (45), it is reasonable (95% confidence rate) that 87% (plus or minus 10%) of all P150 Green Cobbs are off-center.

I used the confidence interval calculator and assumed a population of 10K P150 Green Cobbs (note that the value doesn't change even if I go up to 100K).
