Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners appear lightly to moderately rounded, consistent with VG-EX to EX range; no sharp points visible at any corner. Surface shows some gloss loss and the image appears to have light wear consistent with handling; no obvious creases are visible from this photo, though the soft focus and holder obstruction prevent confident crease assessment. The seller's VG/EX self-description aligns reasonably with what is visible; range widened downward to 3 due to inability to confirm crease-free surface, and capped at 5 given visible corner rounding and centering issues.

Centering estimate: left border ~6px, right border ~10px, top border ~5px, bottom border ~12px — left-right ratio roughly 62/38, top-bottom roughly 55/45; horizontal centering is noticeably off but not catastrophically so, vertical off-center is moderate. Corners: the two visible upper corners show light-to-moderate rounding and softness consistent with handling wear; lower corners are partially obscured by the sleeve edge but appear similarly worn. Surface: gloss appears partially intact with some visible gloss loss/scuffing across the image area; no obvious creases are detectable from this single front photo, though a subtle surface scratch cannot be fully ruled out. Edges appear intact with no major nicks visible; rough cut texture is normal for this 1966 Topps issue and not penalized. Back not visible, limiting confidence; range reflects EX-VG-EX territory pending corner and back inspection.

Centering estimate: left border ~8mm, right border ~5mm, top border ~6mm, bottom border ~5mm, yielding approximately 62/38 L/R and 55/45 T/B - left-heavy but not severely so. Corners: the upper-left and lower-left corners appear to show slight rounding under scrutiny; upper-right and lower-right are modestly better but not sharp enough for NM territory. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible at this resolution, consistent with normal 1966 Topps rough-cut characteristics. Surface shows some light gloss loss and possible minor print speckles/snow typical of the set, but no visible creases or staining; the image area itself is bright and well-registered. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; range reflects corner wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range pending closer corner inspection.

Centering estimate: left border ~35%, right border ~65% left-to-right (roughly 65/35 favoring right); top border ~40%, bottom border ~60% top-to-bottom — centering is off but within EX-MT/EX range. Corners show light to moderate rounding visible at all four corners, with the lower-left appearing the softest; no corner is razor sharp, consistent with EX-to-VG-EX wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be minor white border toning/wear consistent with a 57-year-old card; no visible creases from this angle but the lower-right area near the bat logo badge shows possible surface stress. Edges appear reasonably clean with no major nicks visible; back is not shown, which limits confidence — a hidden crease or stain could pull the grade down toward 4.
