I'd say I'm a centering nut as well. I am however becoming more tolerant of small corner creases or wrinkles that don't impact the overall eye appeal.

I hate marks on cards. That's probably my biggest pet peeves. Otherwise, it's just that I like my cards to have decent eye appeal and affordability, so I can put up with other issues but try to upgrade when it's a good value.

Without a doubt it is clipped corners (I guess I hate octagons but love cards originally made as circles?), second would be obvious trimming of an edge.

Even slightly off-focus cards turn me off.

I hate to get a new card in the mail only to find the slab is scuffed/scratched. How hard is it to keep a graded card in a protective sleeve? They only cost about two and a half cents each as you can get a pack of 100 for about $2.50.

I hate it when the ad back is upside-down or a layer of ink color was left off. If the back ad is totally missing, I think I should get my money back. Incorrect names printed at the top of the card are also a turn-off.

Getting a slabbed card in the mail with sticky price sticker glop still on the holder. Greasy pizza fingerprints don't help either. I guess I just hate to clean up another person's mess.

Scott, I hate that too. Just send them my way and I will dispose of them for you. I am trying to remove all these from the market/hobby

I had a shop with a partner who was a wonderful guy I dearly loved, but one thing that caused us a fair amount of duress is that he was a stickler on corners but cared little about centering, I didn't mind honest corner wear but dislikes a badly off center card. Yet somehow we made it for a number of years.

As I mentioned, I am a nut on centering, mainly for the aesthetics--but also, I tell myself that this boosts the card's value a bit over the book or VCP average. That way I convince myself to pay or bid more. So I get the beauty and the card. But does it really pay off? Seems like it's at least partly true...

Easy one, centering and focus are my pet peeves. Stains and slight creasing don't really matter to me as long as it's not excessive and corners aren't an issue either with me. But if the focus is off or it's badly off center I'm passing, even if it's a card that I really want.

I'm pretty picky about centering as well. I also don't like trimmed cards to the point where there is no border, with the exception of a card that's too rare to wait for one that's not like that. I actually like creases, rounded corners, and paper loss and all that. It shows a history of the card and it's cheaper for me

I don't like scuffs, writing marks, creases, trimming, holes, or wrinkles. I actually don't have an issue with centering, unless it is way off, because that is how the card was issued.

I don't like creases and am a stickler on centering. I also hate buying a graded card and then realizing once I get it that it has pricing sticker residue or other marks / scratches on the holder.

I am working on a low grade t206 set and my only automatic deal breaker is paper loss.
