I value centering quite a bit on 50's and 60's cards. It seems that as the years go by I have to upgrade those 85/15's or worse to at least 60/40 especially side to side. Funny though, I can stand bad centering top to bottom if the border is on top but if there is little or no border on top, I can't stand it as I think the card looks terrible.

For pre-war I am more lenient and even more so if the card is rare.

In general, I will always value centering over sharp corners.

Nice topic, Thanks, Michael

I used to not care as much as I do now, but still don't mind as long as it isn't so outrageous. What I can't stand is the slanted off centering. If it is even borders I don't mind the off center. I have many nrmt cards off center and many exmt cards with soft corners dead centered. I guess I would rather have a nice centered card with soft corners instead of razor sharp corners off centered.

Centering for sure.

Cards were meant to be handled, so rough edges and softer corners are alright. I will always go for the centered card over razor sharp corners.
