Frequently off-center cards in Topps issues, e.g., 1972 Aaron in-action

[CW]

For some cards it's the backs that can be impossible to find centered. For example, check out the '73 Topps Clemente or the '72 Topps Dr. J RC. I challenge someone to show me one of those cards with a nicely centered reverse.

The same could be said about the 68 Ryan. Hard enough to find with the front centered. I don't recall seeing any with the reverse dead centered, and quite often way off.

Maybe it is just me but I had a tough time finding a nice 67 Aaron that didn't look miscut 90/10 left to right.

Another one I am having an awful time finding is a nice 54 Banks that doesn't look miscut at the top

It might be just my personal experience, but i had trouble finding a centered 61 Mantle All Star.

52 Topps are a nightmare to find centered. I've seen centered examples of cards go for double their book value, especially the high numbers where you'll see some pretty vicious bidding wars.

And then there are some cards in that set I've NEVER seen centered. Like Herm Wehmeier's.

Not just you. I paid a premium for a centered PSA 5 last year. Worth it...

Yeah sorry, sometimes I'm bad with interwebs-protocol.
