Off-Centered 1985 Topps
As of this posting I have roughly 1,700 Topps base cards from 1982-91 (the gray back era) of Wallach. This one is far and away the most off-centered. That really speaks volumes for Topps and the care they put into their production runs.
I'm a fan of off-centered cards. Growing up before the days of inserts, these things always demanded a premium on the trading block. I also remember them being unique to Topps, I don't recall any Donruss/Fleer off-centered cards to this degree. That could be wrong, but if it is the case, how'd they manage that? Did they use a different cutting process?
I count this as an '85 Topps. If I ever come across one that's less than 50% Wallach, I'm not sure how I'll count it.
