Dale,
Nice cards Dale. Interesting post and good topic. I had collected most of the 1952 Topps set before realizing centering was the key issue with the set as some cards are almost always printed offset. I was puzzled by this. Those that read the other '52 Topps posts over the last few years will probably realize some of the reasons starting with uneven cutting, to possibly (speculated but not certain) some fronts printed at different times and locations than the backs. I almost bought a '52 Topps with a perfectly centered front and a 90/10 off-center back as an example for my set. I will have to search through my cards and get back Dale on the most perfectly centered cards. I am also curious to see what people find regarding the cards that are always off-centered!

Thanks. Those were the best of mine that I could find but some, as you can see, are a stretch. Many have tilts and whatnot too that to me just don't qualify. I had saved a set I found on eBay stating it was the most centered 52 Topps set ever amassed but unfortunately I didn't save it very long (Maybe it is still available?) It was a healthy price/ask but I honestly thought it could have been priced higher based on how tough this set is?
