1940 Superman Gum - R145 #45 The Runaway Ship
Estimated grade: 3 (2–4) · MEDIUM confidence · asking $180.00

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable and not a primary grade concern here. The surface shows multiple visible creases/stress lines running diagonally across the card face, most prominently in the upper left quadrant and across the middle — these are clear grade-killers pushing the card toward VG or below. Corners appear rounded with wear consistent with heavy handling, likely rounding to VG or Good level. Gloss appears largely lost with toning/aging evident across the entire surface, expected for an 80+ year old card but still factored in. The back is not visible; without seeing the reverse for additional creases, staining, or writing, the range is widened slightly. Primary grade driver is the prominent surface creasing and corner wear; this card sits solidly in the VG (3) range with Good (2) possible if back issues exist.
