What's the Hardest Standard Issue Topps Baseball Card to Find Centered?

55 Freese? 69 Brock? I am talking so bad you just can't find one, i.e. the second series 66 topps football C.L.
Kiss me once, shame on you.

Not sure about the Smith being hard to find centered. I thought it was more difficult
in finding a specimen in 8 or better. centering could have been a reason.
I remember seeing many lower grade ones centered.
Bob Cerv in the 61 set was hard too from what I remember as was the Sheldon.

Mine isn't great on centering but was good enough to meet the 9 criteria.

Only 5 cards graded by the pop report. I had two graded 6 and 8. There is only 2 @ Psa 9 /none higher. I went thru 50+ to find those two with a decent centering.
Go Phillies
I guess it's not a coincidence!

And the 1965 Charlie Smith is also tough.

Hi, hope you have been well.
Is the Smith tuff to find centered or tuff to find in the 8 grade?
I always thought it was abundant centered, just scarce in 8 or above.
Or is the fact it is hard to find centered the reason it was scarce to find in 8 and above?
I thought cards like Lynch, Bond, and Siebert were harder to find centered.

76 Lefty Grove is another one that is a centering nightmare.................

Things are going great!!
I think centering is one of the major reasons the 1965 Charlie Smith is so tough to find in an 8.
Many of the 6's and 7's are clean, crisp and fresh - just off center.
I assume the result of submitter requesting NQs.
At least that's been my experience.
All the best - Jack
