OK, I guess I meet that criteria. What's the issue here?

Nothing if nice centering means 70/30 top and bottom, and 45/55 left to right. I know the 52s are rather infamous for centering issues, on top of their rarity, but this isn't a high number or key card, where I'd be more forgiving. It's one of the more common examples, and I've had no trouble finding a properly centered issue. I just don't think the seller knows what he/she's talking about, because for this example, I sure wouldn't call it "nicely centered."

I know a lot of folks that put a lot more stock in L/R centering than T/B, and would consider that a nicely centered 6. I wouldn't, but many would. I guess I just expected to see something more troublesome than a guy sweetening his description a wee bit. Sorry.

I think the picture overides the description here so people can figure it out. I will say the '52 Ted Gray is very hard to find centered and that's probably a $20 card instead of $30.
