Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm — giving roughly 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B; left-heavy horizontal centering is the main concern, approaching 65/35 territory but not severely off. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding consistent with handling wear — upper-left and lower-right appear slightly softer, placing this solidly in the VG-EX to EX range rather than anything sharper. Surface: the artwork area shows scattered light scuffs and minor surface wear with some toning/aging on the cream border stock, typical for A&BC 1966 issues; no creases are visible in this photo but the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear slightly rough but A&BC cards were not precision-cut so this is not penalized heavily; without a back scan or corner macro shots, a one-grade uncertainty band on each side is warranted.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 80/20 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), suggesting off-center but not miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and softening consistent with handled vintage stock. Surface shows evident wear with gloss loss across much of the face, and there is noticeable toning/aging on the cream border areas. Edges appear rough-cut which is typical for A&BC issues and should not be heavily penalized, but overall surface wear, corner rounding, and off-center presentation point to a VG range (3); a 4 (VG-EX) is possible if no creases are present on the back, while a 2 is possible if the back reveals a crease. The photo quality limits confident assessment of fine surface detail and back condition.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~5mm, bottom border ~6mm, yielding roughly 67/33 L/R and 55/45 T/B – the left-to-right skew is noticeable and consistent with a 6 EX-MT ceiling on centering alone. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners (upper-left and lower-right show soft rounding under the sleeve), suggesting wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some apparent scuffing or toning in the upper-left quadrant of the image area and the white border shows age toning/yellowing typical of A&BC stock, with possible light handling marks. The sleeve glare obscures fine corner and edge detail, preventing confident assessment of crease presence, so the range is widened downward to 3 to account for any hidden surface crease; the soft corners and off-centre left-right placement most likely place this card at a PSA 4 VG-EX.
