Index grading notes

Centering appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom from the photo — not itself the primary concern. The card shows severe wear throughout: all four corners appear heavily rounded with visible paper compression, edges show fraying and stress lines particularly at the upper-left and lower-right corners where the black border is chipped and creased. Surface damage is significant with multiple visible creases and scuffs across the card face, plus gloss is largely gone. The COMC watermark partially obscures the center surface preventing full assessment of print defects beneath it, but the overall structural wear is consistent with a GOOD (2) grade, with PR/FR (1) possible if back-side creases or staining are severe.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top border appears tighter than bottom (roughly 60/40 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. A handwritten numeral ('5' or 'S') is clearly visible on the card face near the top, which is a surface defect that PSA treats as a qualifier and typically caps the grade at PSA 3 or lower regardless of other condition factors. Corners appear rounded and show wear consistent with a VG card at best. There is visible creasing or fold lines suggested by the card surface texture and slight warp visible in the scan, though the seller claims no creases — the writing alone suppresses the grade ceiling significantly. Edge wear appears moderate and consistent with the age of the card; gloss loss is evident.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (roughly 70/30 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (roughly 60/40 T-B), so horizontal centering is a meaningful concern. All four corners show visible rounding/wear visible even at this resolution, with the top-left and bottom-right corners appearing most worn — consistent with a VG-EX to EX range at best. The card surface shows some fading or gloss loss consistent with age but no obvious creases are detectable from this image, corroborating the seller's claim. Edges appear reasonably intact for a 1966 Topps card but rough cuts are expected for the set. The photo angle and resolution limit corner and surface assessment precision, warranting a wider range; back cannot be evaluated.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — centering is off but not miscut territory. The card shows visible surface wear and what appears to be a diagonal crease or heavy fold line running across the lower-left quadrant of the card face, which is the dominant grade-killer here. Corners appear rounded with visible wear on at least two corners visible at this resolution, consistent with VG or lower. The image shows some gloss loss and the card has a slightly wavy appearance suggesting possible moisture exposure or heavy handling; back condition unknown. Range reflects uncertainty about crease depth — if the crease is sharp and deep, grade falls toward 2; if shallower than it appears, a 4 is possible but unlikely given the corner and surface evidence.
