Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. All four corners show visible rounding/wear, with the lower-left corner appearing the most worn; no corner is sharp. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some toning consistent with the age of A&BC issues; no obvious hard creases are visible from this image though the CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center area making a definitive crease call impossible. Edges appear reasonably intact with typical vintage cutting roughness normal for A&BC stock. The combination of rounded corners and gloss loss points to VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with VG (3) possible if hidden creases exist beneath the watermark and EX (5) as the ceiling if corners are better than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface presents reasonably well with color saturation intact and no obvious creases visible in this photo, though the image compression and holder glare make definitive surface assessment difficult. Edges appear slightly rough but this is typical of A&BC cut quality and should not be heavily penalized per vintage norms; no staining or writing visible. The back cannot be assessed from this single front photo, which widens the range downward in case of hidden back issues.

Centering inspection: left border appears narrower than right (estimated ~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (estimated ~55/45 T/B) - seller's 'nicely centered' claim is broadly consistent, no severe OC concern. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range; no sharp corners evident but no severe blunting either. Surface appears relatively clean with good color saturation and acceptable gloss retention typical for A&BC stock; no visible creases from this angle, though the card back is unviewable. Edges appear slightly rough but this is normal for A&BC cuts of this era and should not be penalized heavily; overall the card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate with the range widened to account for unseen back condition and corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — left-to-right imbalance is the primary centering concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper left and lower right most apparent), consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows significant toning/oxidation staining particularly in the upper right quadrant and along the right edge, with general age-related soiling across the card face typical of A&BC stock; gloss appears largely absent. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chips but the overall surface condition, rounded corners, and heavy toning push this into the VG (3) range, with the possibility of a light crease hidden by the image angle warranting a floor of 2.
