Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% (left/right approximately 65/35 favoring right side - notable but not severe); top border ~40%, bottom border ~60% (top/bottom approximately 60/40). No miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible at the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially retained with some dulling, and there is light toning on the cream/white border areas typical of OPC vintage stock. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major nicks visible. No creases are detectable from this photo, but the back is unseen and OPC stock can hide surface issues; the range is widened accordingly to account for potential reverse-side flaws.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is serviceable but not tight. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most evident at upper-left and lower-left, consistent with a VG card. Surface shows noticeable wear including what appears to be creasing or heavy handling stress lines in the lower-center and left portions of the card, with significant gloss loss across much of the face. Edge texture is rough but consistent with normal OPC vintage cuts. The CoMC watermark obscures part of the lower-left surface, preventing full assessment of that region; the card as seen would likely land at PSA 3 VG given rounded corners, visible surface stress/crease candidates, and gloss loss, but a 4 is possible if the surface stress lines are shallow handling marks rather than true creases — back inspection would be decisive.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top/bottom) — left-right imbalance is the primary centering concern, approaching or at EX-MT limits. All four corners show light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with handling wear; no corner is sharp enough for NM territory, but none appears severely blunted either, suggesting EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears present but somewhat muted under ambient lighting; no obvious creases, staining, or paper breaks visible from this photo. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture normal for OPC/Topps 1966 — no miscut adjacent printing detected. Back not visible, which limits confidence; a back-side crease or stain could push this lower.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~3mm — approximately 65/35 L/R and 55/45 T/B, so centering itself is not catastrophic but off. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and lower-right are clearly soft/rounded), consistent with moderate wear. The white borders show noticeable toning/yellowing and surface wear with what appears to be light soiling or handling marks along edges; the seller's disclosure of 'minor damage' is credible. Gloss loss is apparent across the surface. No obvious hard crease is visible from this photo but cannot be ruled out on the back; the overall wear pattern places this firmly in the VG (3) range with the possibility of a VG-EX (4) if the back is clean and no crease is present, or GOOD (2) if a crease is confirmed.
