Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: the lower-left and lower-right corners show visible rounding/softening under inspection; upper corners look somewhat sharper but not crisp — consistent with a mid-grade EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with no dramatic chipping or fraying visible, normal for 1966 Topps rough-cut stock. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear; the COMC watermark obscures the center of the card making surface crease assessment difficult — no obvious hard crease is visible in the exposed areas, but this cannot be ruled out entirely. Overall impression is solidly EX (5), with the floor at VG-EX (4) if hidden surface issues exist beneath the watermark, and ceiling at EX-MT (6) if corners prove sharper in hand.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so by itself. The pink/magenta border frames are intact with no adjacent card printing visible, so no miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners (bottom corners appear noticeably soft/blunted), consistent with a VG-range card. Surface shows moderate gloss loss across the face — the image reads flat rather than glossy — and there is evidence of light soiling or handling marks. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, though the seller's G-VG grade is plausible; a crease could be hiding in shadowed areas. Overall condition is consistent with PSA 3 VG as the point estimate, with the range spanning 2 (if a crease is confirmed on back inspection) to 4 VG-EX (if surface is cleaner than it appears).

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~70/30 left-to-right), top and bottom appear closer to ~55/45 — significant left-right miscentering. The lower-right corner shows visible rounding and what appears to be a crease or fold line running diagonally on the right side of the card, partially obscured by plastic wrap. The lower-left area shows surface wear and possible paper stress. Gloss appears diminished overall with visible print snow typical of the set, but the surface wear and apparent crease on the right edge are the primary grade killers. The right-edge plastic wrap obscures full corner assessment, introducing uncertainty, but the visible damage — corner rounding on at least two corners, the crease-like fold on the right, and off-centering — collectively point to a VG (3) grade, with the range spanning 2 (if the right-side fold is a true crease) to 4 (if it is primarily sleeve distortion and the card is better than it appears).

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (roughly 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (roughly 65/35 T/B) — modest but not severe miscentering, consistent with PSA 5-6 tolerance. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding; no sharp points visible but no severe blunting either, suggesting EX to EX-MT range. Edges appear reasonably clean with normal vintage rough-cut texture expected for this set — no tears or major chips apparent. Surface shows adequate gloss with no obvious creases visible in the image, though the photo cannot rule out subtle surface wear or print snow; seller's 'Ex+' self-assessment aligns with the visual read. Back not visible, and corner detail is limited at this resolution, so the range is widened to account for hidden wear that could push this toward VG-EX (4) or as high as EX-MT (6).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T-B — centering is off but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and lower-right appear soft/rounded), 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 the image but the card stock looks slightly fatigued. The image resolution prevents confident corner closeup assessment and the back is unseen, so the range is widened accordingly — a light crease on the back or heavier corner rounding would push this toward a 3.
