Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approx 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at roughly 55/45 - horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and upper-left), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning/aging typical of A&BC printing stock, with the yellow areas showing some mottling but no obvious hard creases visible. Edges appear reasonably clean without major chips or tears; the ComC watermark and sleeve glare obscure corner and surface detail, widening the range - back not visible for additional condition checks.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably thinner than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the image, particularly bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be general wear/soiling across the face; there is a faint suggestion of a light crease or surface wrinkle in the lower-left quadrant though the sleeve glare makes confirmation difficult. Edges appear reasonably intact without obvious tears but show typical handling wear for a raw 1966 A&BC card; the overall presentation points to a PSA 3 (VG) as the most likely grade, with 2 possible if the suspected crease is confirmed on back examination.

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.

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.
