Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border is noticeably narrower than right (~80/20 left-right), top and bottom borders appear relatively even (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners: the visible corners show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points are evident but no severe rounding either. Surface: some toning and age-related wear is apparent on the white borders typical of this 1966 A&BC issue; the artwork area shows no obvious creases but some light surface wear or scuffing cannot be ruled out from this single photo. Edges appear rough-cut, which is normal for A&BC printings and should not be over-penalized; overall condition suggests an honest EX grade with the off-center left-right ratio being the primary grade limiter.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40 — centering is off but within VG-EX territory. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, consistent with a grade no higher than 5 EX; at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right) appear more noticeably worn. Surface shows some gloss loss and the card exhibits the light toning typical of A&BC stock from this era, which should not be over-penalized. No creases are clearly visible from this single front photo, but the overall wear pattern and corner rounding point to a VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are softer than they appear and no back-side issues exist, and VG (3) if a hidden crease is present on the reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (approximately 80/20 or worse left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom — centering is well off on the horizontal axis. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the bottom-left and top-left, consistent with a VG to VG-EX card at best. The top edge shows some roughness and what appears to be creasing or surface disturbance along the upper-left area; the card stock appears to have light wear and gloss loss across the face. No major staining or tears are evident, but the combination of noticeably rounded corners, off-centering, and apparent surface wear (possible light crease near top) places this solidly in the VG to VG-EX range (PSA 3–4), with the centering and corner wear pulling it toward 3. The photo angle makes it difficult to fully assess edge integrity and confirm or rule out a light crease definitively, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-bottom) — off but not catastrophically so. Corners are the primary concern: all four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG grade; no corner appears sharp under even moderate scrutiny. Surface shows notable wear lines and what appears to be a light crease or handling crease running through the lower-left quadrant of the card face, consistent with a grade of 3 or possibly 2-3 range. Gloss is largely gone with evident toning/aging across the card face, typical for this 1966 British issue but still grade-relevant. No tears, writing, or paper loss visible, keeping this out of the 1-2 range, but the cumulative corner rounding, surface creasing, and gloss loss firmly place this in the VG (3) neighborhood with a possible floor of GOOD (2) if the crease is deeper than the photo reveals.
