Well, you were the closest.

Just picked it up a few minutes ago and got a BVG 5.5 Excellent+

I'm happy with it. I was kinda hoping for a 6, but again I knew the centering was going to really bring down the rest of the attributes of the card that were solid.

I wouldn't hesitate picking up OC cards like that as long as the corners are sharp. That's a beautiful card regardless of the grade. Off center doesn't bother me at all, as long as the players picture isn't compromised.

Thanks.

The other 1968 Topps Ryan rookie I had access to the black ring around the text box/stats was like almost to the edge i.e. very little yellow remaining, if any.

The guy wanted $100 for it, but I passed as by the time I got it graded, etc. I wouldn't be able to turn much of a profit on it.

He does have a 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan that I'm definitely thinking about going back to buy. Appeared to be an 8 or 9. Probably the nicest vintage card I've ever personally laid eyes on.
