Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively balanced (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-EX range. The black border frame of the card (this is the card's own decorative border, not a printing border) shows no obvious chipping. Corners appear lightly worn but not severely rounded — suggesting EX-MT to NM territory; no razor sharpness is discernible at this resolution but no obvious blunting either. Surface gloss appears present with no visible creases, though the card exhibits a noticeable warp/curl that PSA would note but does not directly affect the numeric grade. The photo angle and small image size prevent confident corner and edge assessment, so the range is widened accordingly; seller's 'NM-MINT' claim feels slightly optimistic but not wildly off.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B), so centering is off but not catastrophically miscut. The upper-left and lower-left corners show visible rounding and wear under inspection; the black border at top-left shows edge wear and what appears to be a small nick or ding. Surface gloss appears substantially diminished with visible toning across the image area, and the card surface shows some general handling wear. The card background shows what may be a light bend or surface crease along the left side, though the photo angle makes it difficult to confirm definitively — if a crease is present this pushes toward a 2-3 range. Given the corner wear, gloss loss, and potential surface issue, a VG (3) is the most likely grade, with range spanning GOOD (2) if a crease confirms to VG-EX (4) if the surface is cleaner than the photo suggests.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border slightly larger than bottom (approximately 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to photo resolution and the central watermark, but visible corners appear to show some rounding/softening consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows the typical 1966 Topps print characteristics with no obvious creases visible from this image, though gloss level is hard to judge from a scan of this quality. The image is too soft and obstructed by the watermark to confidently assess corner sharpness, edge wear, or surface gloss — the true grade could reasonably fall anywhere from VG (3) to EX-MT (6), and a back-of-card inspection would be needed to narrow this further.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders look relatively even (~55/45 T/B), suggesting moderate left-to-right miscentering but not severe enough to cap grade alone. The ComC watermark obscures the card surface significantly, making surface condition assessment (gloss, print defects, staining) unreliable. Corners appear to show some rounding at the visible edges, consistent with VG-EX to EX range, but fine corner detail is lost in this scan resolution. No obvious creases are visible from the front, but the back is not shown and the scan quality precludes ruling out surface wear or light creasing. Wide range reflects limited ability to assess from a low-resolution ComC scan with watermark obstruction; a clean high-resolution scan would narrow this considerably.
