Which card has the best centering?

llafoe

It seems like ever seller on eBay likes to add "Centered", "Perfect Centering", "Dead On Centered", etc., to their listings. Of course most of them aren't even close to being centered... here are four cards that have decent centering; but they differ in t/b, l/r, tilt, etc. Which one of these four have the best centering?




Please share your thought process.

Brock. The three white borders look like they are the closest to having the same thickness measurement as each other.

I like the centering on the Brock.

Brock, no contest.

I was gonna go with the Ford, but its very close with Brock. I cant tell if the Ford is ever so slightly lower than the Brock.

+1 for Brooksie just because it's a sweet looking card.

Best Centering = Brock

Best looking card as a whole = Brooks Robinson

Trying to figure out what's keeping the Brooks from a 9...?

The Brock appears to be the most centered card (I really don't like the print bleed in the left border)... and it is the most centered if you look solely at the white border, however it's actually the third most centered card. Two cards have identical centering l/r/t; Ford and Robinson. The Kaline is centered l/r but has significant t/b deviation.

Centering appears to be more about eye appeal than about actual centering. When you look at the Brock, you notice the symmetry of the white border and ignore the bottom border. PSAs plastic border also confuses the eye (adding or subtracting from the perceived border).

Of course none of this excuses the cards that aren't centered on eBay listed as "Centered", "Perfect Centering", "Dead On Centered", etc.
