    Centering would have to be first. Can’t get a 10 without it, even if other three are perfect.

    measurements, centering, corners, surface then edges.

    sometimes edges play a bigger role. '62 & '71 for example.

    I'm an outlier. Focus, registration, corners, surface, centering, edges. I cannot tolerate focus / registration issues. Trips my collecting OCD in the worst way.

    Corners and centering are a balancing game - but registration and color is what makes me have to have a card vs want to have a card.

    On anything new EVERYTHING has to be perfect my only "problem" that doesn't bother me too much is top to bottom centering can be a little to the top of the card.

    To be fair, you can't get a 10 without the others being "perfect" as well.

    On cards I usually deal with, 1955-1975, it's pretty rare to find a card that is going to be in the 10 conversation that I can afford. Other than a slight centering issue towards the top, minor print dots don't bother me too much if in the background.

    My feelings on the set are about 50% indifference, 50% dislike.
