Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border visibly wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) - off but not severely so, no miscut detected. Corners appear lightly worn with subtle rounding visible especially at lower corners, consistent with a 5-6 range; no sharp razor corners but no heavy rounding either. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible in this image, though the seller's title notation 'hg6' may be their own grade estimate, not a disclosed defect. Edges appear reasonably clean with the expected rough-cut texture normal for this 1966 Topps issue; overall the card presents as EX to EX-MT territory, but the back is unseen and corner wear could push lower on close inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears narrower than bottom (~60/40 T/B), so centering is not a primary concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible (top-left and bottom-left appear soft/rounded), consistent with moderate handling wear. Surface shows notable toning/yellowing along the top edge and upper border area, plus the card exhibits general gloss loss across the face. There is no obvious crease visible from this angle but the overall wear pattern — rounded corners, border toning, and dulled surface — places this solidly in the VG (3) range; VG-EX (4) is possible if corners are less rounded than they appear, but GOOD (2) is also possible if a hidden crease exists on the back or the corner rounding is more severe than the photo reveals.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 60/40 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners show visible rounding on all four, most pronounced at the bottom corners, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and light wear; the image artwork appears intact without obvious creases visible from this angle, though a light surface crease cannot be ruled out given the age and condition of the corners. Edges appear reasonably clean with the rough-cut texture typical of this 1966 Topps issue, not penalized. Back is not visible so staining, creasing, or writing there could push this lower; the rounded corners and off-centering are the primary grade limiters.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border is slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) — centering is off but not severely OC by PSA standards for this issue. Corners: three corners appear to have only light rounding with no acute creasing visible; the bottom-left corner looks slightly more worn but still acceptable for EX-MT range. Surface: gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases visible; the COMC watermark obscures the center surface detail, limiting full surface assessment. Edges appear clean and consistent with normal rough-cut texture typical of this 1966 Topps issue. Range widened slightly due to watermark obstruction preventing confident surface and corner micro-assessment.
