Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border ~10-12%, right border ~8-10%, top border ~8%, bottom border ~12-14% — left/right ratio approximately 55/45 to 60/40, top/bottom approximately 60/40; centering is reasonably tight but slightly off. Corners show light to moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower left and lower right appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present with some minor toning/aging expected for a 1966 A&BC card, no obvious creases visible from this scan but the scan resolution limits crease detection on the surface. Edges appear slightly rough but consistent with period A&BC cutting norms — no miscut detected. Back not visible, limiting full assessment; range widened accordingly.
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 55/45 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is not a major issue here. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most notably the bottom-left and top-right corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface appears to have mild gloss loss and there is some toning/aging on the cream borders typical of this British issue. No visible creases are apparent from this photo, though the back cannot be assessed and surface wear may be hiding subtle issues. The overall presentation suggests a well-loved but intact copy; absent any creases the card leans toward a 4 VG-EX, but corner rounding prevents a push to EX-5.
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) — off-center but not severely so for this issue. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most notably bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light toning/aging across the image area, typical for 1966 A&BC stock; no obvious hard creases are visible from this photo though the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips noted, though the rough-cut texture normal for A&BC UK cards is present. The back cannot be assessed and may affect grade; range widened accordingly.
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 60/40 left-right skew favoring the right), and top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom) — within EX-EX-MT range on its own. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible at the lower-left and upper-right; no sharp points remain, consistent with EX (5) territory. Edges appear intact with no major nicks or tears, though the rough cut typical of A&BC issues is present and not penalized. Surface shows mild gloss loss and what appears to be minor toning/aging on the white border areas, with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the back is unseen and could hide surface issues. Overall the card presents solidly in the EX range with the corner wear and centering keeping it from EX-MT; a hidden crease on the back could push it to VG-EX (4).
