Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~4mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~6mm — L/R roughly 65/35 or slightly worse, T/B roughly 40/60; centering is noticeably off horizontally which pressures the grade. Corners: the lower-left corner shows visible rounding and the lower-right appears soft as well; upper corners are harder to assess but show some wear. Surface: gloss appears partially intact but there is visible toning/aging consistent with OPC stock, and the card exhibits what appears to be a light diagonal surface crease or stress line in the lower-left quadrant, which if confirmed would cap this at VG (3) range. Edges appear slightly rough but consistent with OPC cut norms — not penalized heavily. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L-R and 60/40 T-B - centering is off but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding, most notably the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with a VG-range card. The card surface shows general gloss loss and what appears to be overall wear/handling throughout; no obvious hard crease is visible from this photo but surface is dull and toned. Edges appear reasonably intact for the grade with no tears or paper loss visible, though the rough-cut characteristic of OPC issues is present and not penalized; the overall condition profile points solidly to a PSA 3 VG, with a small chance it grades 4 if corners are slightly better in hand or drops to 2 if hidden surface creases are present on the back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B), which is acceptable for NM-MT range but pushes toward the lower end. Corners appear reasonably sharp with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom corners are harder to assess. Surface gloss appears present with good color saturation and no obvious creases or staining visible. The card shows what appears to be light edge/border wear consistent with a 6 EX-MT grade; without corner macro shots or back inspection, the range is widened — a cleaner copy could reach 7 but hidden corner wear or back issues could push this to 5 EX territory.
