1940 Gum Inc Superman #16 Mountain Tragedy — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is not ideal but not catastrophically off-center. The card shows significant overall age toning/yellowing consistent with the era, which is expected but still noted. Corners appear rounded and worn - at least two corners (top-left and bottom-right visible) show clear rounding consistent with a VG (3) grade. Surface shows visible creasing or wrinkling near the upper center of the card, which is a meaningful surface defect pushing this toward the 2-3 range. Gloss loss is evident across the face. The photo angle and lighting obscure fine corner and edge detail, widening the range; a true 4 is possible if the apparent surface crease is shallower than it appears, but the combination of rounded corners, toning, and surface disturbance most likely lands this at PSA 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not a primary concern here. Corners show visible rounding on all four, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows multiple creases — at least one prominent diagonal crease running through the center of the card is clearly visible, along with what appears to be additional lighter creasing near the top; this is the dominant grade-suppressing factor. Edges appear worn and slightly rough but within normal range for an 80-year-old card of this type. Gloss appears largely gone with toning/aging throughout the cream-colored card stock, which is expected for the era. The overall condition profile — rounded corners, multiple visible creases, gloss loss — places this firmly in the VG (3) range, with a plausible floor of GOOD (2) if the back shows additional wear or staining not visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~60% left / 40% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. The upper-left corner shows visible paper loss or a chip, and the lower-left corner also appears rounded and damaged, consistent with at least moderate wear; the right-side corners are partially cut off by the image crop but appear to show some rounding as well. Surface shows toning/browning consistent with the era (tan stock) and there is visible soiling or foxing on the lower-left corner area. No crease is clearly confirmed from this angle but the overall surface and corner wear point to a VG (3) grade, with the damaged upper-left corner potentially dragging it to a GOOD (2); a clean back with no creases could push it to VG-EX (4) territory. Back is not visible, limiting confidence.
