Index grading notes

Centering appears roughly 60/40 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, which is acceptable for the issue, but centering is a secondary concern given the surface damage present. The card exhibits significant surface wrinkling/paper stress across much of the face, visible creasing particularly in the upper left and center regions, and the cardboard stock shows heavy toning consistent with 80+ years of age. All four corners appear rounded to soft, with no sharp points surviving. Edges show wear and roughness throughout. Despite these issues, the image is intact with no tears, writing, or paper loss visible — placing this card in the Good (2) range, with Poor (1) possible if back shows additional damage; a VG (3) ceiling is unlikely given the multiple surface creases and corner rounding visible even in this single photo.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — centering itself is not the primary grade limiter here. The seller's note flags creases and the photo clearly confirms multiple visible creases running across the card surface, most notably a prominent diagonal crease in the lower-right quadrant and what appears to be additional stress lines in the upper area. Corners show moderate-to-heavy rounding consistent with significant handling wear. Surface gloss appears substantially diminished with overall toning and aging typical of this 80+ year old issue. At PSA 3 VG the rounded corners and visible creasing align, but the severity and number of creases along with heavy surface wear push this toward PSA 2 GOOD; back condition is unseen and could further affect the final grade.
