Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom), creating an off-center presentation. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right most apparent), consistent with VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows general gloss loss and toning/aging typical of A&BC British issues; no obvious hard creases are visible in the image but surface wear and handling marks appear present. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major tears or paper loss visible, though the resolution limits definitive assessment of fine corner detail and any surface creases — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not extreme miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right most apparent), consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and what appears to be toning or surface wear across the card face; the image artwork area looks intact with no obvious major creases visible from this photo, though a light crease cannot be ruled out given the soft image quality. Edges appear slightly rough but that is consistent with normal A&BC period cutting. Overall the card presents as a solid VG (3) with potential to reach VG-EX (4) if corners and surface are cleaner than the photo reveals, or dropping to GOOD (2) if a hidden crease is present.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 left-to-right favoring right side), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 60/40; centering is noticeably off horizontally but not severely enough to suggest miscut. Corners show light to moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the card shows some general wear consistent with age. Edges appear slightly rough but this is typical for A&BC period cuts; back cannot be assessed from this image, which contributes to the widened range — a hidden crease or staining could push the grade toward 4, while cleaner corners on closer inspection could support a 6.

Centering: left border appears wider than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom borders look roughly 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary concern. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding, most notably the top-left and bottom-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface: the card shows moderate gloss loss with some light surface wear; a faint crease or stress line appears possible near the lower portion of the card but is not definitively confirmed from this single image. Edges: consistent with vintage A&BC stock — some roughness present but not unusual for the issue; no paper loss or tears visible, and no writing or staining detected.
