Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~12%, top border ~10%, bottom border ~12% - reasonably centered, roughly 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B, no significant centering deduction. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners, most notably the upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some general toning/aging consistent with an 80-year-old card; no obvious hard creases are visible in the scan but subtle surface wear and possible light crease lines cannot be fully ruled out from this single image. The seller's VG/VG-EX self-assessment aligns with the visible corner rounding and surface wear; back condition is unknown and could push the grade in either direction.
Card is encased in a GMA slab graded VG 3, which aligns with visible condition indicators. Centering estimate: left border appears narrower (~20%) vs right (~80%), top border moderate (~40%) vs bottom (~60%), suggesting significant left-right miscentering toward right side of image. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with VG grade. Surface shows toning/foxing spots visible in upper left quadrant of the card image, and there appears to be a faint crease or surface wrinkle discernible through the slab. Gloss loss is apparent across the card face. The GMA grade of 3 is consistent with what can be observed; however, full independent verification is impossible through the slab — PSA would likely land in the 2-3 range given the centering, corner wear, toning, and apparent surface issues.
