Index grading notes

Centering estimate (accounting for 180-degree rotation): left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 off, top/bottom closer to 60/40 — centering is noticeably off-center horizontally, consistent with VG-EX range. Corners show visible rounding and soft wear on at least two corners visible through the sleeve, suggesting use beyond EX condition. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be a light crease or stress line running through the card body, visible through the sleeve — the seller's title does not flag a crease explicitly but the surface texture suggests one may be present. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, and no writing or staining is evident; sleeve glare limits full corner and surface assessment, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — off-center but not severely miscut; no adjacent card printing visible on edges. Corners appear rounded at all four points consistent with VG-range handling wear; no sharp corners are visible even accounting for image resolution. Surface shows some gloss loss and what may be light soiling or toning on the white border areas; a possible light crease cannot be confirmed or ruled out from this single angled scan. The seller's VG+ self-assessment is plausible, but limited photo quality and the angle prevent confident assessment of crease presence — range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears somewhat tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners show light to moderate rounding on the visible corners, particularly the upper-left and lower-left appear to have some wear consistent with a 5-6 range; the right-side corners are harder to assess cleanly. Surface gloss appears present but with some light wear/dulling; no obvious creases are visible from this photo, which is consistent with an EX range card. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears visible, though the rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue is present and not penalized. Back is not visible, which limits precision - range is widened slightly to account for potential back issues.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding and wear — no sharp points remain — which is consistent with VG to VG-EX territory. Surface shows general gloss loss and light toning on the cream/white border areas typical of this 1966 Topps issue; no obvious creases are visible in this scan but the image resolution limits crease detection with certainty. Edges appear reasonably intact without major chips or tears, and no miscut condition is evident. Given rounded corners and gloss loss without confirmed creasing, VG-EX (4) is the point estimate, but the range extends to EX (5) if corners are better than they appear, or down to VG (3) if the back shows a crease or surface issues.
