My o/c Thurman Munson

I was reading this post about an off center 71 Munson and thought I would share a scan of a 71 Munson I picked up a while ago. PSA 8, really super sharp corners and edges for a 71, but with 10-90 centering.

Such an incredibly tough card to find centered. Yours is gorgeous outside of that. Congrats!

but with 10-90 centering.

I always have a problem with the understanding of centering. I do not use a tool to measure the true centering, but with simple math I would assume that a 90/10 verdict would say that 1 border is 9 times wider than the other border. Please correct me if I am wrong.

If that is the case, then although your Munson is obviously way off centered, I dont believe it is as bad as 90/10.

Somewhere buried on this board is a photo of the same moment in play but from the reverse angle, opposite side of the field. Always love that picture, thanks for sharing.

Yep, this card is very often OC. I picked up some 1st series rack packs a few years ago and both Munsons I viewed were miscut (one pulled from a pack and one showing on top).

Here's the rack with Munson showing:



Here's a link to the video of me opening the pocket with the Munson in it:
