How important is centering to you? Green Cobb choice

[oldcardboard]

Centering is everything. I would go with "B".

[CharleyBrown]

Definitely B - that T/B centering would annoy me every time I look at the card.

[ullmandds]

I've never been a big condition/grade kinda guy...definitely B.

[Vegas-guy]

I would much rather have the overall condition of EX but if it's solely based on centering I would go with B

Agreed.

Here's mine. A beauty for a "3" imo.

[Phillies*phan]

Tell me this red Cobb isn't beautiful.

I like B better also, but not because of the centering; that centering doesn't bother me. I'd just have a really hard time paying that much more for a card that has very similar eye appeal.

I dont have a problem with off centering top to bottom. As can be seen from my Cobb below. Dont really like if its off from side to side. I dont like cards that are off registration or has creases through the center.
I dont think I have ever bought a card because of the border. I buy them for the picture.

[freakhappy]

That's a beauty, Bruce! I think you have a great point in that you buy them for the picture and not necessarily for the centering and such. That's what I love about this hobby...there is no wrong way to collect!

Hey guys

As I have said before, and I will repeat....A FAIR MAJORITY OF THE PIEDMONT 150 GREEN COBB'S ARE OFF-CENTER (TO THE TOP BORDER)

There are 6 - PIEDMONT 150 green Cobb's currently on Ebay ..... 5 of them are O/C to the TOP border. Furthermore, at any given week on Ebay
you will find this same ratio (approximately) of O/C PIEDMONT 150 green Cobb's to centered PIEDMONT 150 green Cobb's.

Check this out....here is a great example of what I have been telling you guys.

NOTE.....If you desire a well-centered green Cobb look for a PIEDMONT 350, or a SWEET CAPORAL 150 (or 350), or a SOVEREIGN 150 card.

As is evident here, I'm not too picky about centering, so I'm quite pleased with my sharp-looking PIEDMONT 150 Cobb.

Ted-- I am really digging that miscut Cobb on Ebay. I would like to add that one to my collection if things work out right. I am waiting for that half bottom half top green Cobb thats on the the forum to pop up on this thread soon. I never get tired of seeing it......

[cubsfan-budman]

no question, B.

However, I think that something be badly centered top to bottom looks better than something off-center left to right. not sure why.

[sportscardpete]

I would take A. I agree with the above poster - top down centering issues are easier to digest than left/right. Plus I like sharper corners. But that is just me.
