Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with handling wear — no razor corners remain. Surface shows notable toning/aging consistent with an 80-year-old card, with some brownish discoloration visible in the upper right corner area and general paper aging throughout. Gloss appears largely gone. No obvious hard creases are visible from this single-photo view, but the image resolution and mounting angle make it impossible to rule out light surface creases or back-side issues; the back is not shown. This card grades most likely in the VG range (PSA 3), with VG-EX (4) possible if the surface and back are cleaner than they appear, and GOOD (2) possible if hidden creasing exists.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~6mm, top border ~7mm, bottom border ~8mm — approximately 57/43 L/R and 53/47 T/B, which is acceptable for the grade range. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the upper-right and lower-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning/aging typical of 1940 gum cards; there is visible surface wear and possible light handling creases particularly in the lower portion, though no sharp fold crease is clearly confirmed from this single photo. Edges appear slightly rough but acceptable for a 1940 vintage card of this type. The seller claims EX which may be optimistic — VG-EX (4) feels most likely given the corner rounding and surface wear visible, with EX (5) possible if the surface and back present better than they appear here.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a major deduction. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, consistent with light-to-moderate handling; no corner is sharp under inspection. Surface shows toning and age-appropriate wear typical of 83-year-old cards from this set — there is some general gloss loss and fading across the image area, though no obvious creases are visible in this photo, consistent with the seller's claim. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for the era and cutting technology of 1940 Gum Inc. cards; overall the card presents as a VG-EX to EX range specimen, but the back is unseen and corner rounding could push it lower on closer inspection.
