Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - horizontal off-centering is the primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo, consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows general gloss loss and some toning/soiling particularly in the lower portions of the card; the CoMC watermark obscures the mid-section making precise surface assessment difficult. Edges appear reasonably intact for an A&BC issue with no obvious tears or paper loss, but the combination of corner rounding, gloss loss, and off-centering place this solidly in the VG (3) range with some chance of VG-EX (4) if corners are slightly better than they appear, or GOOD (2) if there are hidden surface creases under the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), indicating off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left most apparent), consistent with a VG grade. Surface shows moderate wear with what appears to be light creasing or surface stress lines across the card face, and there is noticeable gloss loss across the image area. Edges appear rough but this is expected for A&BC British issue cards of this era; the overall condition package of rounded corners, surface wear, and centering issues places this firmly in the VG to VG-EX range, with VG (3) being the most likely single grade.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) - centering is off but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most pronounced at bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss with some light handling wear; the CoMC watermark obscures the center surface making crease detection difficult, but no obvious heavy creases are visible from this angle. Edges appear reasonably clean with only minor wear for a 1966 A&BC card, which typically exhibits rougher cuts than Topps US issues - no major chipping noted. Grade range of 3-5 reflects corner rounding and centering concerns anchoring the floor, with the ceiling limited by inability to confirm surface condition under the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~3mm — approximately 60/40 L/R and 57/43 T/B, which is acceptable for centering alone. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right are notably soft under inspection), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some overall gloss loss and light toning typical of A&BC British issues; there is no clearly visible crease but the CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, preventing a clean crease assessment. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible. The combination of rounded corners and moderate gloss loss points to a PSA 4 VG-EX as most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no hidden crease exists.
