Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - centering is acceptable for a PSA 5-6 range. Corners show light rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and lower-right), consistent with EX condition; no razor sharpness evident but no severe blunting either. Surface appears to retain decent gloss with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle and sleeve glare make it difficult to rule out light surface wear or print defects definitively. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence, placing this in the PSA 4-5 range with an outside chance at 6 if corners are better than they appear under magnification.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left bias), top and bottom borders look moderately even, roughly 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B — centering appears acceptable but not tight enough for upper grades. Corners show what appears to be mild rounding on at least the visible corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears present but the central watermark overlay obscures any print defects, scratches, or creases in the middle of the card face. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious miscut, though the rough-cut texture normal for this set is present. The watermark obstruction is the primary limiting factor in confidence — cannot rule out hidden surface wear or a crease beneath it, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (roughly 55/45 L-R), top border appears moderately narrower than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B) - centering is acceptable but not tight. Corner assessment at this resolution shows what appears to be light-to-moderate rounding on at least two corners (upper left and lower right most visible), consistent with honest handling wear for a ~58-year-old card. Surface gloss appears largely present with no obvious creases visible, and the yellow field shows no major print defects beyond expected vintage print snow. No miscut indicators observed - borders appear intact on all four sides. The seller's EX/MT claim is plausible but may be slightly optimistic given apparent corner wear; EX (5) is the more conservative anchor, with EX-MT (6) possible if corners hold up under closer inspection. Back not visible so paper quality and back condition cannot be assessed.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably narrower than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 - the left-right imbalance is the primary centering concern. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have mild-to-moderate rounding; no sharp corners are visible but no severe blunting either, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture for this set; no obvious nicks or tears visible. Surface gloss appears present but reduced - some flatness to the image that could indicate light handling wear or print characteristics; no creases are visible from this angle, though the back is unseen. The combination of off-centering (L/R) and corner rounding points most likely to a PSA 5 EX, with 6 possible if corners are sharper than they appear and 4 possible if any hidden surface or back issues exist.
