Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders look more balanced at approximately 60/40 T-B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The COMC watermark blocks the card surface significantly, making surface gloss and print defect assessment unreliable. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major chipping, though the A&BC rough-cut norm is noted. No creases are visible from this view, but the watermark obstruction prevents confident exclusion of light surface wear — range is deliberately widened to account for hidden information.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners appear rounded at two or more corners visible in the image, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Gloss appears partially present but the COMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the surface, making surface condition assessment unreliable. No obvious creases are visible in the image, but the watermark obstruction and image quality prevent confident evaluation of the card's surface, edges, or back condition - range is deliberately wide to account for hidden flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show light rounding on all four, most visible at bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a 5 EX range. Surface presents reasonable gloss retention with no visible creases, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the center image area making a definitive surface call difficult. Edges appear slightly rough but this is typical of A&BC cut quality for the period and should not be over-penalized. No staining or printing defects visible; the off left-right centering and mild corner rounding are the primary grade-limiting factors here.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5-6mm, top border ~3mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 65/35 L/R and 65/35 T/B, so noticeably off-center but not severely so. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some toning/yellowing typical of A&BC British issues on white borders, and there is visible wear/gloss loss across the image surface. No obvious creases are detectable from this angle, though the sleeve glare obscures the lower center area. Edges appear intact with no major chipping. The sleeve/holder limits full corner and surface assessment, widening the range; back condition is unknown.
