Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right side being wider), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the upper-left and lower-left corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some visible loss suggesting light handling wear; no creases are clearly detectable in this photo though the image resolution limits certainty on fine surface defects. The seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns reasonably with what is visible, placing this in the 4-5 range; absence of confirmed creases and the degree of corner wear lean toward a PSA 5 point estimate, but back condition is unseen and could push lower.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off-center left/right, likely grading as 85/15 or worse horizontally which caps around EX or below. Corners: at this resolution and card lean, corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding on at least the visible lower-left and lower-right corners, consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface: gloss appears present but diminished — no obvious creases visible from this view, though the card angle limits inspection of the full surface. Edges: appear intact without major chipping; rough-cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back is not visible and corner detail is limited by the shooting angle, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border approximately 4mm, right border approximately 7-8mm, giving roughly 65/35 L/R; top border approximately 5mm, bottom border approximately 6mm, so T/B is close to 55/45 — horizontal off-centering is the primary concern. Corners: the upper-right corner shows a visible crease or surface wrinkle in the upper-right quadrant of the card (visible in the photo), and corner wear appears present on at least two corners with some rounding evident — consistent with a VG-EX (4) range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no gross nicks visible, normal for vintage rough-cut Topps stock. Surface gloss appears partially present but diminished, consistent with age; no overt creases through the image center are detected though the upper-right area has a stress mark or crease that is a meaningful defect. Back cannot be assessed, and corner detail is limited by photo angle, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX range but not tight enough for NM territory. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left appear the softest), consistent with EX (5) rather than EX-MT (6). Card edges show the typical rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue and should not be penalized heavily. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some gloss loss visible across the face — no creases are evident from this angle, but the image is not a macro shot so a hairline cannot be fully ruled out. The seller's 'EX-NM' claim is optimistic; the corner wear visible even at this resolution places the card more comfortably at PSA 5 EX, with a stretch to 6 EX-MT if corners are sharper than they appear, and a floor of 4 VG-EX if hidden surface issues exist.
