Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~10%, right border ~15%, top border ~12%, bottom border ~18% — approximating L/R roughly 60/40 and T/B roughly 65/35, which is acceptable but slightly bottom-heavy. Corners show mild to moderate rounding on all four, most visible on the lower-left and upper-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light wear and modest toning on the cream/yellow border areas typical of OPC issues; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the back is unseen. Edges look reasonably clean with no major nicks, and the image color is vibrant suggesting no heavy foxing or staining, but the corner rounding and border toning prevent a grade above EX (5) with confidence.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 65/35 left-to-right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light wear on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right show slight softening visible even at this resolution), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible, and the color saturation looks strong. Edges appear clean with no significant chipping or nicks visible; vintage rough-cut texture is present but normal for this OPC/Topps 1966 issue. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment — staining, creases, or write-marks on reverse cannot be ruled out, which is why the range is kept wide.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top and bottom borders appear relatively even (~55/45 top-heavy), so approximately 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B — acceptable for NM range but leaning toward EX territory. Corners appear to show some light rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX handling wear. Surface shows generally good color saturation and artwork integrity with no obvious creases visible in this photo, and gloss appears moderate but not exceptional for the grade. Edges appear reasonably clean with no miscut evident; however, as an OPC issue, slight roughness on cuts is expected and not penalized — the back is not visible so staining, creases, or write-on cannot be ruled out, widening the range.
