Default I like the cut of your jib.....
[QUOTE=J

Here’s the odd part, I am an error collector though, so if a very significant amount of the card next to the subject is showing I will pay a premium. It makes no sense and I am very comfortable with that.[/QUOTE]

I'm in the opposite camp as centering isn't that important to me as long as the card isn't horribly miscut. I prefer the card to look more "pack fresh" than centered, and I always hope to pick up good deals where some collectors reject the card because it's too off-centered for them. Here are a couple of examples.

A quickly emerging theme here seems to be that centering is a priority if the goal is resale.

If your goal is collecting then off center can be a good opportunity to score a deal on a better card.

From what I see above it could be opposite. I am pretty sure no cards in this thread are for sale. I am way more tolerant in buying cards, less than perfectly centered, for resale....because of the responses above ..
