Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~5-6%, top border ~8%, bottom border ~6% — centering is off but within rough acceptable range for this set, approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B. Corners show visible rounding on all four corners, most pronounced at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows significant soiling, toning, and what appears to be paper/surface wear across the card face; gloss is largely gone. There is a handwritten '42' in pencil at the top of the card which is a qualifier/defect that PSA would note (MK — marks qualifier), and the card shows general age wear consistent with 80+ years. No obvious hard creases visible from this scan angle, but the overall surface condition and written notation likely cap this at a VG/3 with a qualifier, though VG-EX/4 is possible if the surface is cleaner than it appears and the pencil mark is light.

Centering estimate: left border ~10-12%, right border ~5-7%, top border ~8-10%, bottom border ~12-15% — left/right roughly 60/40 to 65/35, top/bottom roughly 55/45, centering is imperfect but not severely OC. All four corners show visible rounding and wear consistent with heavy handling over 80+ years. Surface displays significant toning, soiling, and general dullness with near-total gloss loss across the face. A handwritten '42' in pencil at the top is a notable defect (writing on card). The card stock shows typical age-related brittleness and there appear to be light surface creases or wrinkles visible near the lower portion, consistent with a VG to VG-EX range; the pencil writing alone is a grade-qualifier that PSA would likely note as a mk (mark) qualifier, capping the grade in the 2-3 range. Overall consistent with a PSA 3 VG with a MK qualifier being the most probable outcome.
