Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is marginal but not severely off-center. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom-left and top-right most apparent), consistent with VG-range wear. Surface shows what appears to be a diagonal crease or stress line running across the lower-left quadrant of the card, and there is evident wrinkling/paper disturbance near the bottom edge — this is the primary grade-killer. Gloss appears significantly reduced overall with some toning on the white border areas. Without a back scan and higher-resolution corner closeups, the true extent of creasing cannot be fully confirmed, but visible surface disturbance, rounded corners, and gloss loss collectively point to a PSA 3 VG with some risk of a 2 if the crease penetrates more deeply than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R skew favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom, perhaps 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (bottom-left and top-left), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear; no obvious hard creases are visible in this photo, but the angle and resolution prevent ruling one out entirely. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is consistent with this series' known rough-cut norms. The photo angle and moderate resolution limit confidence — a back inspection and corner macro shots would be needed to refine further.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (approx 70/30 left-to-right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 60/40 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut; no adjacent card printing visible on any edge. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on at least two visible corners (upper-left and lower-right appear the softest), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows reasonably intact gloss with no obvious creases visible in this single-image view, though the seller's title claims EX which aligns with the visual evidence. Edges appear clean with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut texture; the primary grade limiter here is corner wear and slightly off centering, placing the most likely grade at PSA 5 EX, with the range spanning 4 VG-EX to 6 EX-MT depending on back condition and what close-up corner inspection would reveal.

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 off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding/wear on at least two corners (bottom-left and bottom-right appear softer), while top corners look slightly better but not sharp. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious major nicks visible, consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut character. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light handling wear but no creases are clearly visible in this photo; the back is unseen and could reveal hidden issues. Overall condition suggests an EX range, with the corner wear being the primary grade-limiter.
