Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering looks acceptable for EX range but glare obscures precise measurement. Corners cannot be assessed with confidence due to the screwdown holder blocking corner zones and the reflective glare; no obvious severe rounding is visible but close inspection is impossible. Surface gloss appears intact in visible areas with no obvious creases detectable, consistent with the seller's EX to EX-MT self-assessment. The heavy holder glare and artifact line running across the card center prevent confident surface and corner evaluation, so the range is widened — a grade of 4 (VG-EX) to 6 (EX-MT) is realistic pending a direct inspection out of the holder.

Seller explicitly discloses MISCUT, and the image confirms it: a sliver of an adjacent card's printing is clearly visible along the top edge, confirming a miscut condition. Left/right centering appears roughly 70/30 favoring left, and top/bottom is severely skewed with virtually no top border and an oversized bottom border - consistent with a miscut. PSA treats miscuts as OC-qualifier or grade-capping defects, typically capping numeric estimate at 2-3 at best; combined with what appears to be moderate to heavy wear on corners (rounded, soft), gloss loss visible even through the toploader, and edge/surface wear consistent with a played card, the realistic PSA numeric estimate lands at 1-2. Miscut cards do carry a separate error/novelty collector premium outside standard grade value, so raw or authenticated-only submission may serve the seller better than a numeric grade submission.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 60-65% left / 35-40% right), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) - centering is off but not severely miscut, no adjacent card printing visible. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding consistent with honest handling wear; no corners appear sharp but none are severely blunted either, placing this in the EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderately present with some loss visible, no creases are detectable in the image though the back is unseen and could hide issues. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns reasonably with visible evidence; the left-heavy centering is the primary grade limiter here, and without corner or back examination a range of 4-6 is appropriate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55% top) - centering is reasonably acceptable, roughly 60/40 L/R and 55/45 T/B, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible on the lower-left and upper-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows expected vintage print texture and minor toning on white borders but no obvious creases visible from this angle; gloss appears partially present but dulled, suggesting handling wear. The back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out; the range is widened accordingly to account for that uncertainty.
