1940 Gum Inc Superman #44 Disaster At The Circus

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is not the primary concern here. The card exhibits significant overall toning and surface soiling consistent with its ~85-year age, with visible dirt/grime accumulation across much of the face. The upper-left corner area shows notable paper distress and what appears to be a crease or fold, and all four corners appear rounded to moderately worn. Surface gloss is essentially gone throughout, and there is mottled discoloration and possible light staining visible especially in the upper portion. The easel obscures the bottom edge slightly, preventing full corner assessment on the lower pair; the back is not shown. Given the heavy toning, apparent corner rounding, surface wear, and probable creasing, this card sits in the GOOD (2) to VG (3) range — a grade of 2 is the single most likely outcome, with a PR (1) possible if the upper-left damage proves to be a more severe fold or paper loss on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears roughly equal to right (~50/50 L/R), top and bottom borders appear moderately balanced (~55/45 T/B) — centering is not a primary concern here. The seller explicitly notes creases, and the photo confirms at least two visible diagonal creases running across the card face — one prominent crease crossing the upper-left quadrant and another through the lower portion — which is consistent with a PSA 2 GOOD or at best PSA 3 VG. Corner condition is difficult to assess precisely from this single photo but corners appear rounded with visible wear. Surface shows gloss loss and the creases are structurally significant, not merely light surface wrinkles. The card appears intact with no tears or paper loss visible, keeping it out of PR-FR territory, but the multiple creases cap this firmly at the 2–3 range.
