Centering and condition rarities

[JollyElm]

I am awaiting arrival of this notoriously tough 1961 high number HOF'er (last card in the set) that I was able to pick up for less than a third of the price that straight 8's go for, and I couldn't be happier!

The o/c qualifier in no way, shape or form bothers me (back is centered nicely)...perhaps because slight top to bottom centering anomalies aren't nearly as harsh on the eye as side to side issues are.

Good deal there. Given the nature of those 61 AS cards, it doesn't even really look OC to me.

That card wouldn't bother me if I was doing the set.
Card looks good and I would crack it open anyway.
It would look great in a card saver.
