Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60-65% right-heavy), top border slightly thinner than bottom, approximating L/R ~65/35 and T/B ~55/45 - moderately off-center but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear soft from this resolution), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. The CoMC watermark blocks evaluation of a significant surface area, preventing assessment of creases, print defects, or gloss in the lower-center zone. Edges appear intact with no obvious tears; card stock shows some aging consistent with a 1966 vintage card. The overall presentation suggests a mid-grade raw card, but the watermark obstruction and limited resolution force a wide range - a hidden crease or surface defect could drop this to a 3, while clean surface and decent corners could support a 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not severely OC. Corner wear is the primary concern - the bottom-left and bottom-right corners show visible rounding visible even at this resolution, and the seller note 'READ' suggests self-disclosed issues consistent with corner wear notation. The note 'corner wear' displayed beneath the image confirms this. Surface shows the COMC watermark obscuring center but no obvious creases or heavy staining are visible through the image; gloss appears moderate with some loss. Edges appear reasonably clean for the vintage. The combination of rounded corners and moderate gloss loss points toward VG-EX (4) as the most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if corners are less damaged than they appear and VG (3) if additional back-side flaws exist.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60% right-heavy), top border slightly wider than bottom, approximate L/R ratio 60/40 and T/B ratio 55/45 — centering is off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding visible on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-left appear softer), consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface shows some scattered print snow/speckle typical of this issue, and there appears to be minor gloss loss but no obvious hard creases are visible. The CoMC watermark obscures the center surface somewhat, limiting crease detection; back condition and true corner sharpness are unknowable from this single front image, warranting a widened range.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65-70% left), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55-60% top), placing L/R at roughly 65/35 and T/B at 55/45 - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (lower-left and upper-right appear most worn), consistent with VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably intact with no obvious nicks visible, which is typical of this issue's rough cuts. Surface shows some gloss loss and possible light soiling or toning on the white border areas, consistent with age; no obvious creases are visible from this photo though the COMC watermark obscures the lower-center surface. The off-centering and corner rounding are the primary grade drivers, landing this most likely at PSA 4 VG-EX, with PSA 3 possible if corners are more rounded than they appear and PSA 5 possible if the surface is cleaner than the scan suggests.
