Default Centering on 1953 Topps

Does anyone have an example of what's considered perfect centering on a 1953 Topps Card? I've seen some of the PSA 9s where the team name is close to the cut at the bottom. My confusion arises with the width below the team name matching the white top border.

*Edit* I updated the thread title since I actually meant 1953 but had mistakenly listed 1954. Too many stats in my head today, thanks all who contributed on 54 and anyone who may contribute on 53.

There is no white top border on 1954 Topps.

Both side borders should be even with the bottom border. This one is pretty close, save the 45/55 left-right centering.


And this is the pre-war board. I know it gets a lot of 1948/49 Leaf and Bond Bread threads, but Topps should definitely be in the Post-War side.

This is the only set I refuse to collect for this very reason. Every single card looks miscut to my eye.

Fudge you are 100% correct, I accidentally put 54 down but meant 53. Just updated that. If you have any opinion on 53 centering please lmk!

Thanks,

Default Centering

This is close to as good as you're gonna get on a 53. If you notice, the position and Team name ride on top of the bottom border.

Some '53's have a very light color to the sky at the top of the paintings, and this can be hard to distinguish from the border. To me, some of these don't look bad when the centering is off top to bottom.

Thanks a bunch, I never noticed that bottom frame line of the portrait itself.
