Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right border (roughly 70/30 left-to-right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 top-to-bottom), indicating off-center horizontally. Corners show visible rounding, most apparent on the lower-left and upper-left, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some general wear and the card stock appears lightly worn with modest gloss loss visible across the image area, no obvious hard creases are detectable from this scan but the photo resolution limits a definitive call. The CoMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface, preventing full assessment of any staining or crease in that zone; absent confirmed creases the range sits 3–5 with a point estimate of 4 (VG-EX).

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (~70/30 left-right), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 top-bottom), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (upper-left and lower-left appear softer), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light toning on the border areas typical for this 1966 Topps issue; no obvious creases are visible from this image but the photo resolution limits definitive surface assessment. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears noted, rough-cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. The off-centering and corner wear point to a PSA 4 (VG-EX) as most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear and surface is cleaner than visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R disadvantage), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. More concerning are the visible surface issues: the card shows evident toning/aging on the white border areas, and there appears to be a horizontal crease or fold line visible across the lower-center portion of the card face, consistent with a VG-range card. All four corners show rounding and wear visible even at this resolution — no sharp corners remain. Gloss appears significantly diminished across the surface. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out; range is widened accordingly.

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 off but not dramatically so, likely within 80/20 range. Corners appear to have moderate rounding visible at all four corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no corner is sharp enough to suggest better than grade 5. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light wear but no obvious hard creases are visible from this scan, though the image resolution is insufficient to rule out light surface creases entirely. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chipping; the rough-cut texture typical of 1966 Topps is present and not penalized. The wide range (3–5) reflects the scan's inability to confirm crease presence or absence and limited corner detail.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is mildly off but not severely. Corners appear rounded at all four points with visible wear, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range; no razor sharpness is evident even at this resolution. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning or handling wear across the face, though no obvious hard creases are confirmed from this scan. The CoMC stock photo and watermark overlay limit confidence significantly — corner wear and any surface creases cannot be fully assessed, so the range is widened to account for hidden flaws that could push this toward VG (3) or hold it at EX (5).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is reasonably close and not a major grade penalty. Corners appear to show light rounding on at least two corners (visible at lower-left and upper-left), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear intact without obvious nicks but the scan resolution limits fine edge assessment. Surface gloss shows some loss and the image appears slightly soft/faded as is typical of this set's color photo cards; no creases are clearly visible but the photo quality cannot fully rule out light surface wear. Back is not visible, limiting full assessment; the range 4–6 reflects corner and gloss uncertainty.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~45/55 T/B) — centering is passable and not a primary concern here. The seller explicitly notes 'creases' and the note banner at the bottom confirms this; crease(s) visible on the card surface place this firmly in VG-3 territory or below. Corners show rounding consistent with moderate handling wear. Surface gloss appears partially intact but diminished, with the crease damage being the dominant grade-limiting factor. The COMC watermark partially obscures surface assessment, and no back scan is available, so the range is widened slightly downward to account for potentially worse condition than visible from front alone.

Centering appears approximately 55/45 left/right and 60/40 top/bottom — reasonably centered for the issue. The seller explicitly notes creases, which is the primary grade-limiter here; at least one visible surface crease or fold is consistent with a VG (3) grade. Corners show rounding consistent with moderate wear, likely rounded on all four. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled by age and handling; the COMC watermark partially obscures surface detail assessment. Given the confirmed crease(s) and corner wear, the card falls comfortably in the VG to VG-EX range, with VG (3) being the most likely outcome — a crease alone typically caps the grade at 3 unless it is very light, which cannot be confirmed from this single image.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly larger than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) — centering in itself is not severely problematic but not clean. The Comc watermark obscures the card center, limiting surface read. White borders show visible toning/aging consistent with the vintage. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding visible even at this resolution, suggesting EX to VG-EX range. No obvious creases are detectable from this photo, but the watermark blocks center surface evaluation. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious rough cuts or chips beyond normal 1966 Topps texture. Given the apparent corner wear and inability to fully assess the surface, a VG-EX (4) point estimate is most defensible, with the range spanning VG (3) to EX (5) to account for hidden information.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a modest margin, top border slightly wider than bottom — rough estimate L/R ~60/40, T/B ~55/45, suggesting off-center but not severely so. The image resolution is insufficient to clearly assess corner sharpness, but corners appear to show rounding consistent with a VG-EX to EX range card. Surface shows no obvious creases visible from this scan, but gloss loss and some light wear are suggested by the overall appearance. Edges appear reasonably intact with no major chips or tears visible; however the photo quality and apparent display mounting prevent confident assessment of fine corner and surface detail, warranting a wide range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears notably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), which is acceptable for this set but slightly off vertically. Corners: the four corners appear reasonably intact with minimal rounding visible at this resolution, though the lower-left and upper-right corners show very slight softening consistent with light handling wear. Surface: gloss appears present but mildly reduced; no creases are visible from this photo, which is consistent with the seller's NM claim. Edges appear clean with normal vintage cut texture for 1966 Topps; back is not visible so hidden defects (staining, creases, writing) cannot be ruled out, widening the range downward to EX.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears moderately larger than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — centering is off but within NM-MT/NM territory on the vertical axis; horizontal is acceptable. Corners appear reasonably sharp with only minor wear visible, consistent with EX-MT to NM range, though the photo resolution makes precise corner assessment difficult. Edges appear clean with no obvious nicks visible; the white border shows some expected toning/aging consistent with a 1966 vintage card. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or major print defects visible, but the back is unseen and any hidden creases or staining would lower the grade — hence the widened range of 5-7.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-to-right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 top-to-bottom), suggesting off-center left-right which would cap this in the EX-VG-EX range. Corners appear to show some rounding or light wear on at least two corners visible — not sharp enough to suggest NM or better. Surface shows a reflective sheen in the lower half of the card which obscures detail and could be gloss loss or surface wear, but may also be photographic glare making assessment difficult. Edges appear intact without obvious major chips or tears; however, the angled, non-flat single photo and reflective glare significantly limit confidence — the seller's NM-MT claim appears optimistic based on visible centering and corner condition alone.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is quite good overall, no severe tilt. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance; no obvious rounding or creasing is visible, though the toploader and slight glare prevent precise corner inspection. Edges look clean with no visible nicks or rough tears beyond normal vintage cut texture. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious print defects, scratches, or staining visible; the color reproduction looks solid. The seller's claim of NrMnt+ is plausible — this looks like a 7-8 range card, but without a back view or corner macro the upper bound is uncertain.
