Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approximately 65/35 T/B), which is mild but measurable off-centering consistent with EX range. Corners: at this resolution all four corners appear to have light rounding with no sharp points visible — consistent with EX (5) to VG-EX (4) wear; no razor-sharp corners that would suggest 6+. Surface and gloss appear reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or major print defects visible, and the color saturation looks good. Edges appear clean with no major chipping; rough cut texture is normal for this issue and not penalized. The back is not visible, and no closeup corner shots exist, so the range is widened to account for hidden wear; seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visual evidence.

Centering estimate: left border ~3mm, right border ~4mm (L/R roughly 55/45 acceptable), top border ~3mm, bottom border ~4mm (T/B roughly 55/45) — centering appears decent overall, no severe OC issue visible. Corners show light-to-moderate rounding on all four tips, consistent with an EX grade; no corner is sharp but none appears heavily blunted or frayed. Edges look reasonably clean with no obvious nicks or tears visible, and rough-cut texture is expected for the series. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear/gloss loss across the face, consistent with age handling; no creases are visible in this photo though the back cannot be assessed and a hidden crease cannot be ruled out, warranting the lower end of the range. Seller's 'EX' self-assessment aligns with the visible evidence, placing this solidly at PSA 5 with a possible stretch to 6 if corners and back are cleaner than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so horizontal off-centering is the primary concern but not extreme enough for OC qualifier. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding and softening — no sharp points remaining, consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface: gloss appears moderate with some loss evident; there is visible toning/aging on the white border areas typical of this set, and possible light handling wear across the face. Edges appear intact without major chips or tears, which is consistent with vintage 1966 Topps rough-cut norms. No creases are clearly visible in this photo, though the watermark obscures the center; the condition of the corners and gloss loss point to a VG-EX (4) most likely grade, with EX (5) possible if surface is cleaner than it appears and corners slightly better under direct inspection.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly narrower than bottom (~55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. The seller note discloses 'staining' which is confirmed visible in the image - there is notable toning/staining particularly in the lower portion of the card face and on the borders, which is a meaningful surface defect. Corner wear is also seller-disclosed and visible; corners show rounding consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Edges appear slightly rough but within normal vintage parameters for this set. The combination of visible staining, corner rounding, and surface wear collectively drags this card into the VG (3) range as a point estimate, with the staining being the primary grade-limiter; cleaner surface would have put this at a 4. Cannot assess the back from this photo, which widens the range downward.
