Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right bias), top and bottom borders appear moderately uneven at approximately 55/45 top-heavy — centering is acceptable for this issue but not tight. Corners show visible rounding at all four corners, most notably at the bottom-left and top-right, consistent with honest handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled across much of the card face, suggesting light gloss loss without heavy abrasion. No obvious crease is visible from this angle, though the card stock shows gentle fatigue; the A&BC cut is characteristically rough on the edges which is normal for this British issue and is not penalized. Overall condition profile sits at VG-EX to EX range, with corner rounding being the primary grade-limiting factor.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off horizontally and would cap near EX range. Corners show some rounding at all four tips, most visible at upper-left and lower-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX wear. Surface appears reasonably clean with intact gloss and no obvious creases or staining visible from this angle. Edges look slightly rough but normal for A&BC cuts of this era; the back is not visible so any crease or staining on reverse cannot be assessed, widening the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is passable but not tight. Corners appear to have light to moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the A&BC printing stock can hide subtle wear. Edges appear intact with no obvious nicks or tears, though the scan angle and possible sleeve make precise corner and edge assessment difficult — back is unseen, widening the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (bottom-left most apparent), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows general toning/aging typical of A&BC stock, with some gloss loss evident. The COMC watermark and moderate image angle obscure fine surface detail and prevent confident corner assessment on all four corners; the card appears to have seen moderate wear without obvious hard creases from this view, but the back is unseen and A&BC cards of this vintage often carry reverse wear. Range widened due to photo limitations.
