Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~60% left / 40% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - moderate miscentering but not miscut territory. All four corners show visible rounding consistent with VG grade; no corner is sharp. Surface shows general gloss loss across the card face with some scuffing or wear visible, particularly in the darker areas of the illustration. No obvious hard crease is visible in the image though the seller's title suggests VG which aligns with the rounded corners and gloss loss observed; a back-side crease cannot be ruled out from this single front photo. Edge wear appears light-to-moderate and consistent with the grade range; rough cut edges are normal for this vintage issue and are not penalized. Overall condition aligns with PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with a slim chance of 4 VG-EX if surface and back are cleaner than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) - centering is noticeably off but not catastrophic. All four corners show visible rounding and softening, with the upper-left and lower-right corners appearing the most worn - consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and some light handling wear across the face; no creases are clearly visible in this scan but the image resolution prevents a definitive ruling. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or major nicks, consistent with normal vintage handling for this series. A back scan would be needed to confirm crease status and finalize the grade.

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), so centering is acceptable but not sharp - consistent with EX to EX-MT range. Corners: all four corners show some rounding/softness visible even at this scale, with the lower-left appearing the most worn; no corner is razor sharp, consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Surface and edges: the artwork area appears to have decent remaining gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the white borders show some toning/age consistent with a 57-year-old card - no staining evident. Back is not visible so back condition (including the blue bat logo quality, back centering, and any reverse defects) cannot be assessed, which is the primary uncertainty driver widening this range; vintage rough-cut edges are present but normal for this issue and not penalized.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom) - left/right centering is a concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least the upper-left and lower-left corners visible in frame, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact but the watermark and image angle obscure fine detail on surface wear and any potential creases. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious tears or major damage visible, but the scan angle and watermark prevent confident assessment of the back or full corner condition - range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding at least on the lower-left and lower-right corners visible in frame; upper corners are partially obscured by the mounting but suggest similar light-to-moderate wear. Surface appears to retain some gloss but the scan distance and mounting holder make it impossible to assess for creases, print defects, or staining with confidence. The seller's VG-EX call is plausible but the rounded corners visible push toward the VG-EX (4) to VG (3) boundary; a crease cannot be ruled out from this photo. Range widened due to mounting obstruction preventing full corner and surface assessment.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear - no sharp points remain, consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows gloss loss across much of the face with some light soiling or toning visible, particularly in the lighter border areas. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo but the general wear pattern and rounded corners firmly place this in the VG (3) range; a hidden crease on the back or heavier corner damage could push it to 2, while cleaner-than-apparent surfaces might support a 4.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approximately 70/30 left-right favoring right), top border slightly thinner than bottom (roughly 65/35 top-bottom) - centering is noticeably off but not severe enough to trigger OC qualifier on its own. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four, most visible on the bottom-left and top-left corners, consistent with an EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the holder obscures edge and corner detail somewhat. Print quality looks typical for the issue with no major print defects visible; white borders show light toning consistent with age, which is normal for this set and not penalized heavily.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left vs 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) - left-to-right shift is the primary centering concern, likely in the 70/30 or worse range horizontally. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible even at this resolution, particularly on the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with a grade of 5 EX rather than higher. Surface appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases visible, and the white borders show some minor toning consistent with a 58-year-old card. Edge wear appears light and within normal vintage parameters for this set; the back cannot be assessed from this image, which widens the range downward.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears narrower than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely within PSA 5-7 range on that metric alone. Corners are difficult to assess precisely through the acrylic holder and glare, but no dramatic rounding or fraying is immediately obvious; they appear to have at least light wear consistent with a 5-6 grade. Surface gloss cannot be reliably judged due to reflections from the screwdown case. No obvious creases, staining, or writing are visible, but the holder obscures edges and corners sufficiently that a 3-4 scenario cannot be ruled out if hidden wear exists. Range is widened significantly due to obstruction by the acrylic case preventing proper corner, edge, and surface evaluation.
