Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range but not perfect. Corners appear to show very light wear on at least the lower-left corner visible through the holder; upper corners look reasonably sharp but the holder glare partially obscures fine corner detail. Surface appears to have good gloss retention with no obvious creases or major print defects visible; some minor print grain consistent with vintage Topps is present. The holder makes precise corner and edge assessment difficult, preventing a confident call above 7; the seller's 'NrMnt+' claim is plausible but the lower-left corner softness and centering uncertainty keep the floor at 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-to-right), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding at all four tips, most notably the upper-left and lower-right, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface appears to retain moderate gloss with some age toning on the white border areas, which is typical for this set. No obvious creases are visible from this scan, but the image resolution limits a definitive surface call; the seller's 'high grade' claim seems optimistic given the corner wear visible.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60% top) — roughly 60/40 L/R and 60/40 T/B, acceptable but not tight. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light-to-moderate wear with some rounding visible, particularly on the lower corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from the front, and color is vivid. Edges look fairly clean with no egregious chipping, though the left edge shows slight roughness (normal for vintage Topps cuts). Without corner close-ups or a back scan, a confirmed crease or staining cannot be ruled out, so the range is widened; best single estimate is PSA 6 EX-MT pending closer inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% of right border width), suggesting left/right roughly 60/40 or possibly slightly worse; top border appears slightly narrower than bottom, approximately 55/45 top/bottom — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Edges appear intact without obvious nicks or tears, which is typical of handled but cared-for vintage copies. Surface gloss appears reduced with some toning on the white border areas, and the COMC watermark obscures the center of the image preventing confident assessment of print defects or surface creases — the range is widened accordingly. No miscut detected; borders are present on all sides. A light handling crease cannot be ruled out given the obscured surface.
