Fatal Flaw - What's the one thing that will keep you from buying a card?

[Kawika]

Any number of the reasons cited by others in this thread (creased face, poor registration etc) put me off but the number one deal killer for me is bad centering. I'm an OCD kind of guy and an off-centered card absolutely bugs me. If it were still the 1930s and we weren't so caught up in all the murder stories and rhetoric of today's hobby I'd have been the guy trimming his cards just to make 'em look pretty.

Hey, Rhett: This one's for you. A genuine archaeological artifact of ancient California. I am embarrassed to admit that I paid SGC six bucks to slab this sorry mother. At least it is decently centered.

David, I'm not buying it! No way you can be OCD and also have that Prough card in your collection! That card is beautifully hideous!

That made me laugh. Good thing I wasn't drinking milk when I was reading it.
