1940 Gum Inc Superman #30 Trapped In The Glacier — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners discernible at this resolution, suggesting wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows age-toning and some gloss loss typical of 83-year-old cards from this era; no obvious creases or staining are visible in this photo, but the image resolution and angle limit definitive assessment of the surface. Back is not visible, edges appear reasonably intact without major chipping, placing this tentatively in the 4–5 range pending closer inspection of corners and reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~80/20 L/R), top border is slightly narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B), indicating off-center but not catastrophically miscut. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with handling wear — no sharp points remain, placing this in VG territory at best. Surface shows significant toning/browning (expected for 83-year-old cardboard stock), and there appears to be at least one faint surface crease or fold line crossing the lower portion of the card, though the angle and lighting make precise crease assessment difficult. Gloss appears largely absent. The card is well-worn but intact with no visible tears or paper loss evident from this photo; back is not visible so staining or additional creases cannot be ruled out, which is why the range extends down to 2.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp corners remain — consistent with heavy handling typical of 80+ year old cards. Surface shows significant toning/aging throughout the cream/beige areas, which is expected for 1940 Gum Inc. stock but still a grading factor; there appears to be at least one light surface crease or stress line visible near the lower portion of the card though confirmation is limited by the single angled photo. Gloss is largely gone and there is edge wear visible on multiple sides, pointing toward a VG (3) grade with the range extending to GOOD (2) if the crease proves deeper on back inspection, or VG-EX (4) if surface wear is lighter than it appears under this lighting.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners, most pronounced at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows significant toning/aging across the card face with noticeable gloss loss and what appears to be light surface wear or soiling; the image also suggests possible light creasing though the photo angle makes it difficult to confirm with certainty. Back condition is unknown, and the camera perspective distorts edge sharpness assessment — range is widened accordingly; this card grades most likely PSA 3 VG with a plausible range of 2-4 depending on crease severity and back condition.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B; left-heavy misalignment is notable but not severe enough to call a miscut. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, consistent with a VG-range card; no corner is sharp or near-sharp. Surface: there is visible toning/yellowing across the card stock, consistent with age; gloss appears largely lost. Edges show wear and some roughness. A light crease or surface stress line appears possible in the lower-center area but cannot be confirmed definitively from this single photo — if a crease is present (as the card's vintage and overall wear suggest is likely), the grade firms at 3 VG or slides toward 2 GOOD; the back is unseen and could reveal additional creasing or staining that would affect the final grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal centering is a concern but not miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with handling wear, particularly the lower-left and upper-right corners which appear more softened. Surface shows general toning/aging typical of 80-year-old cards from this set, with some light soiling or foxing visible; gloss appears largely gone. No obvious hard crease is visible from this photo angle, though the image resolution makes it difficult to rule out light surface creases definitively. The card sits solidly in the VG range (3), with the rounded corners and centering preventing a higher grade; the absence of a confirmed hard crease keeps it out of GOOD (2) territory, though back condition and any hidden creases could push it lower.
