A TREMENDOUS Pickup from National

This is a card that has really dogged an OCD guy like me for a while. Between the wood-grained borders (which show
damage so easily), my compulsive obsession with centering and the difficulty in finding this card without the black print
line in the bottom border this makes it the fourth time I have purchased this card for my registry set.
I think this one is definitely the "keeper". The borders and corners are basically clean, the centering LR is just about
50:50 and the TB centering (at least the way I measure it) is ever so slightly wider in the top than the bottom (about 60:40).
But most importantly, my print line nemesis is NOWHERE to be seen!
It's taken me almost 5 years to find this example. Truly a milestone find.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

And congrats on finally scratching that itch.
<< <i>Congrats! Looks like an easy 9. Sweet card.

Maybe an 8.5, though my experience so far is that even 0.5 bumps (which suppposedly are significantly driven by a "clear focus" on centering) are very hard
to achieve.
