Just Another 1952 Mantle PSA 9

I am now convinced that a fetish for perfect centering is a manifestation of OCD.

Quite a few of the cards Matt posted look very nicely centered to me.

It may very well be, Peter I swear when I look at the borders of a card and see any sloping or one that is thinner than the other, I just cannot bid on the card. And it's gotten worse as I've gotten older!

In Orwellian terms, your Room 101 is going to be a room full of slightly off-center cards.

Superb reference! (And spot-on.)

I'm with you, I thought a lot of those cards looked really nicely centered. I guess that's just not my area of focus as much as corners.

I think I see color and registration first, corners second, and centering (unless quite off) last.

Interesting. I see centering first and it matters most to me, as long as the card has good aesthetics otherwise. Evan's card in auction is awesome in that respect. It's not bad with any of the others attributes, but that centering....

Count me in with the centering nuts. It's getting so bad, I'm starting to "see" centering issues that aren't even there. I recently did a transaction with a great dude, and he had to go to extra lengths to demonstrate that I was, in fact, not seeing a slight tilt. I know, it's bad.

They may need to name a disease/condition after Matt. Apparently it's contagious.

I've always noticed centering and it never really mattered much to me. But, the last few years, you've people have made me a neurotic

Great interview, Evan! Good luck!

Will be very interesting to watch the late night bidding on this one. When the dollar amount gets that high the number of bidders has to be quite small. Will it stay where it is or get a big last minute run-up? I know I am completely useless at predicting these things!
