Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: the visible corners show moderate rounding consistent with a 4-5 grade; no sharp points evident but no severe degradation either. Surface: the CoMC watermark obscures a significant portion of the card face making surface flaw detection difficult — no obvious creases or heavy staining visible in exposed areas, gloss appears partially present with some dulling typical of a played card. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic nicks visible; OPC rough-cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. Back not visible, limiting full assessment; range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-12% narrower than right border (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is reasonably good for this series. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners (top-left and bottom-right are most visible), consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no corners appear sharp enough for NM-MT. Surface shows good color saturation and gloss appears present with no obvious creases visible from this angle. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks; the back is not shown which could reveal hidden issues such as creases, staining, or writing. Given visible light corner wear and good overall presentation, EX-MT (6) is the most likely grade, with NM (7) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and EX (5) if additional surface or corner wear is revealed on closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is within EX-MT range. Corners show visible light rounding on at least the upper-right and lower-left corners visible in photo, consistent with EX grade rather than EX-MT. Surface shows some mild toning/yellowing on the border areas typical of OPC stock, and there is slight gloss loss visible. No creases are apparent from this photo, and edges appear reasonably clean without major nicks. The CoMC watermark partially obscures the surface assessment, and the back is not visible; the range is widened accordingly. Overall this card presents as a solid EX (5) candidate, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are sharper than they appear and no back issues exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 70/30 L/R and 60/40 T/B - moderate centering issue. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners visible in frame, suggesting wear consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Card edges appear reasonably clean without major notching but show some softness. Surface has some toning/aging consistent with the OPC printing stock, and the CoC watermark prevents full surface assessment, but no obvious creases are visible from this view. The illustrated artwork shows no significant print defects. The back is not visible, limiting confidence; range widened accordingly to account for possible hidden creases or back condition issues.
