1940 Gum Inc Superman #26 Log Jam Peril

Centering estimate: left border appears wider than right (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is imperfect but not severely off-center. All four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG-range card; no corner is sharp. Surface shows significant toning/age-related browning across the entire card face, which is typical for 1940 Gum Inc. stock but here appears fairly pronounced, suggesting moderate to heavy paper aging. No obvious hard crease is detectable from this photo, though the overall wear pattern and corner rounding point to a VG (3) grade as most likely; a light hidden crease or heavier surface wear could push this to GOOD (2), while cleaner surface than the toning suggests might support a VG-EX (4) floor — range 2–4 reflects this uncertainty from a single front-only photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is imperfect but not severe. A prominent vertical crease runs through the upper-center of the card, clearly visible in the photo and consistent with the card having been folded at some point; this is the primary grade-killer. Corners show rounding consistent with significant age and handling, with at least two corners visibly blunted. Surface shows toning and gloss loss typical of the era, with some soiling or wear across the face. The crease alone caps this card in the VG-3 range, and combined with corner rounding and surface wear a grade of 3 (VG) is most likely, with the range spanning 2-4 depending on crease severity and back condition not visible here.
