Centering vs. Diamond Cut

diamond cuts bother me much less than significantly OC cards.

me too....don't care for O/C but diamond cuts are usually ok to me. All in the eye of the beholder.. Interesting answers and goes to show there is something for everyone.

To me it all depends. Left-right centering bugs me way more than top-bottom centering issues. Diamond cut cards can look off-center as well. I'd have to say it's a card-by-card analysis for me.

I'm not sure I'd consider Denny's Walsh a diamond cut. The vertical borders are pretty straight. I suppose it could be considered miscut due to the horizontal borders. Are those crop marks on the vertical borders? Great card!

Thanks Mike & Ed!
This was a gem that I almost was iN Need of Selling. As Good Fortune would have... my situation changed & I was able to keep'em fir my on going set... Its either feast or famine iN my Home ~ I'm getting There!

Ed, Yes they are Crop marks... a couple of years ago, another board member pointed them out to me. I had noticed them however, because ThiS "BiG Ed" isn't from the T206 Set... & even though E90-1's can commonly be found with X ~ Y Axis marks... ThiS one was a bit more than usual & he really began to grow oN me!

I'd buy the diamond cut and trim it to be more pleasing…

Seriously I hate DCs.

As a newbie to T206 collecting, this is an interesting topic. I've been turned off by diamond cuts as they have wonky eye appeal to me. I'd prefer OC cards but again, as a newb, I may change my mind over time.

Thus far, the consensus seems to be that most do not like the diamond cut card, even if centering is nice, otherwise.

I'd much rather take a diamond cut. The centering on a card, after the image, is the next most important thing imo. It draws my eye to it being off centered every time I look at it. My Cobb isn't too bad I suppose in this example, but I much prefer the image centered.
