Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable for a PSA 5. Corners show light rounding consistent with EX (PSA 5) condition; no sharp points visible but no severe blunting either. Surface shows some light toning/age soiling in the upper-left quadrant of the card, typical of this 1940 issue on its off-white stock; no creases are discernible through the slab window. Edges appear reasonably clean with minor roughness consistent with original cutting of this era. The stated PSA EX 5 is well-supported by what is visible; a grade of 4 is possible if corner rounding is more pronounced than the slab window reveals, and a 6 is possible if the surface and corners are cleaner than they appear.
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border modestly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonable for the grade stated. Corner wear is visible at all four corners with some rounding evident, consistent with an EX 5 grade; no corners appear sharp enough for EX-MT 6. The image artwork shows moderate color vibrancy with no obvious creases visible through the slab window, though the card stock shows age-appropriate toning/fading on the upper portion of the image. Surface appears free of heavy staining or major defects from this view; the slab prevents full edge and back assessment, so a range of 4–6 is warranted — the PSA-stated EX 5 sits comfortably within that range and aligns with what is visible.
Centering appears moderately off — left border is noticeably wider than right (estimated ~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45. The caption bar at bottom calls out 'staining, corner wear,' and both are visible in the image: the card surface shows toning/staining consistent with an 80-year-old card, and corner rounding is evident at multiple corners, consistent with VG or lower. Gloss appears largely gone with evident surface wear. No sharp creases are definitively visible through the watermark, but the surface distress and staining push this toward GOOD (2) rather than VG (3); a confirmed crease underneath the watermark zone could keep it at 2 or even soften to 1.5. The seller-disclosed staining and corner wear are confirmed visually, and the watermark obscures the center surface detail, leaving some uncertainty about hidden creases.
