Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 right-heavy L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not severely so. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible from this angle (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, with some light wear evident across the card face. No obvious creases are visible in this photo, though the image angle and quality cannot rule out light surface creases; the seller's 'VgEx' self-assessment aligns with my visual read of rounded corners and moderate gloss loss, placing this in the PSA 4-5 range most likely.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left / 40-45% right L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is within EX-MT to NM range and not a significant grade limiter. Corners appear moderately sharp at this scan resolution; no obvious rounding visible on the top two corners but the bottom corners show what appears to be very light softening. Surface gloss looks reasonably intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects beyond normal 1966 Topps print characteristics. Edges appear clean with no visible nicks. The single eBay photo does not allow close corner inspection or back assessment, so the range is kept wide; a PSA 6 EX-MT is the most likely landing spot, with upgrade to 7 possible if corners are crisper than they appear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) – centering is off but within EX-range tolerances. Corners show light to moderate rounding visible at all four corners, most evident at lower-left and upper-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Edges appear reasonably clean with typical vintage rough-cut texture for this Topps issue – no miscut detected. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some light scuffing or gloss loss visible; no obvious creases detected in this photo, though the image resolution limits certainty about subtle surface issues. Back condition, any hidden creases, and true corner sharpness cannot be confirmed from this single front photo, so the range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 70/30 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 60/40 — centering is noticeably off but not miscut territory. Corners: all four corners show visible rounding consistent with heavy handling; no sharp points remain on any corner. Surface: a visible vertical crease runs through the lower-center portion of the card, consistent with the seller's 'Good' self-disclosure; gloss appears largely gone with surface wear evident. Edges appear intact without tears or paper loss, but the combination of rounded corners, visible crease, and gloss loss firmly places this in the PSA 2–3 range, with the crease pushing toward a PSA 2 point estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable for EX-MT range. Corners appear relatively sharp with only minor blunting visible at the lower-left and upper-right corners; no obvious rounding that would drop below EX. Surface shows typical 1966 Topps print texture with no visible creases corroborating the seller's claim; gloss appears reasonably intact through the sleeve. The sleeve obscures fine surface detail and corner tips, particularly in the upper portion where glare is present, making it impossible to confirm whether the corners are truly NM-sharp or show light wear — this uncertainty drives the range from 5 to 7 with a point estimate of 6 (EX-MT).
