Default RE:

I wasn't claiming the 59' Mays to be DEAD CENTERED. I wanted to do a comparison of the 59' Mays that was currently running on EBAY but I figured I shouldn't go copying and pasting his auction image on this thread. My Mays is definitely 50-50 Left to Right. That's where it matters most in my opinion. I can live with 60-40 top to bottom because it still looks like it could have been designed that way. Thanks for all the replies!!

I am OK with vintage off-centered cards that may have a PSA OC qualifier with sharp corners. For example, give me a decent-looking PSA 8 OC over a PSA 6 in most cases.

Check my McGraw pictured here. To get sharp corners on a NM-MT card nearly 70 years old, and just have it be slightly off-centered, I feel it is a great value over getting a better centered card in EX-MT with touches to all corners.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm happy with this card!

Centering never really mattered much to me as long as the card had four distinct borders. I'd rather have a NM looking card with 80/20 centering over an EX one that's 50/50, but it seems like I'm in the vast minority.
