1940 Gum Inc Superman #40 Racing The Shells — TAG (grade unconfirmed)

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 acceptable for the grade range and not a major deduction. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding consistent with heavy handling; no sharp points remain, pointing firmly toward VG or below. Surface: significant toning/yellowing across the entire card face, consistent with age but also indicating gloss loss; there is visible surface soiling and what appears to be light staining particularly in the upper right quadrant. Edges appear worn but no obvious tears or paper loss are visible; no creases are definitively confirmed from this single photo angle, though the surface texture makes it difficult to rule them out — the back is unseen and could reveal additional defects that push the grade lower toward a 2.
