Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right — notably right-heavy, approximately 65/35; top border ~40%, bottom ~60%, slightly bottom-heavy, roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom. The off-centering is meaningful but not catastrophic for a vintage A&BC card. Corners show visible rounding on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with handling wear; top corners appear slightly better but still show softening. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the face with some light scuffing or wear texture visible in the image area; no obvious hard creases are detectable from this photo, though the scan resolution makes a definitive crease call impossible. Edges appear intact with no tears or paper loss visible; overall the card presents as a solid VG-EX candidate, though the corner rounding and centering push it toward the VG-EX/VG boundary.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4mm, right border approximately 6-7mm giving roughly 60/40 L/R; top border approximately 5mm, bottom border approximately 7mm giving roughly 58/42 T/B - centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light rounding, particularly the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with a 5 EX range; no razor sharpness visible but no heavy rounding either. Surface color appears vibrant with reasonable gloss retention and no obvious creases visible from this angle. Edges look slightly rough which is normal for A&BC cut quality of this era and should not be penalized; the COM.C watermark overlay partially obscures the lower center but the card itself beneath appears clean with no staining visible.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear more balanced at approximately 55/45 T-B; centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows moderate toning/aging typical of A&BC stock and some light color wear, but no obvious creases are visible from this photo. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough cut typical of A&BC issues; back cannot be assessed, and corner closeups are not available, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp points evident. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some flatness/gloss loss visible, and there is light toning on the cream/white border areas typical of this British A&BC issue. No obvious creases are visible from this photo, but the back is unseen and could hide additional wear. Card edges appear reasonably clean with no severe chipping noted. The rough-cut edges typical of A&BC printings are present and not penalized. Range of 4-6 reflects uncertainty about corner sharpness and back condition not assessable from this single front image.
