1940 Gum Inc Superman #41 Roller Coaster Rescue — Raw

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is off but not severely miscut. The punch hole at the lower left corner is the most significant qualifier - PSA treats punch holes as alterations/defects that typically result in an 'Authentic' designation rather than a numeric grade, or at minimum cap the grade severely; this is a critical issue the seller self-disclosed. Corners show rounding consistent with a VG-range card; the lower-left corner is compromised by the punch hole entirely. Surface shows age toning and some soiling typical for 1940 Gum Inc. cards, with moderate gloss loss. No visible creases are apparent from this photo, which is consistent with the seller's claim, but the punch hole alone is likely to result in PSA returning the card as 'A' (Authentic/Altered) rather than any numeric grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely OC. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners, most evident at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows light gloss loss and minor toning/aging consistent with an 80-year-old card but no obvious creases are visible in this image, which is encouraging. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible; the card shows honest age-appropriate wear that aligns with the seller's VG-EX assessment, though the back is unseen and any hidden creases or staining could push this lower toward a 3.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly tighter than bottom (~45/55 T/B) — centering is reasonable for the grade range. Corners appear to have light rounding, consistent with moderate wear; no sharp points visible but no severe blunting either. The card surface shows expected toning/aging for an 80-year-old card with some overall yellowing of the cream background, which is period-normal. No creases are visible from this single front photo, consistent with the seller's EX claim, though the camera angle and slight perspective distortion prevent confident assessment of subtle surface issues. The © Superman, Inc. copyright notice is clearly legible. Back is unavailable for inspection, which widens the range; any hidden creases or staining on the reverse could push this toward a 4 or lower.
