Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-weighted), top border slightly narrower than bottom - approximating L/R ~60/40 and T/B ~55/45, which is within acceptable range but leaning off. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, no obvious creases detected in the image though the back is unseen. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; vintage rough-cut texture is normal for this set and not penalized. The sleeve/holder makes precise corner and surface assessment difficult, widening the range - a hidden crease or heavier corner wear could push this toward a 4.

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.

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 narrower than right (roughly 60/40 left-right favoring right side), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners; upper-right is partially obscured by sleeve glare but appears similarly softened; lower-right corner near the bat logo badge looks the best of the four. Surface shows moderate gloss loss consistent with handling wear, no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the back cannot be assessed. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major chips or tears; print quality is typical for the series with no alarming snow or defects visible. The overall presentation suggests an EX (5) grade is most likely, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners are better than they appear and VG-EX (4) as a floor if the back shows any crease or additional wear.
