Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border visibly thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is not catastrophic but off. Corners show significant rounding and wear on all four corners, most notably the top-left and bottom-right which appear heavily worn. Edges show fraying and roughness consistent with heavy handling. Surface exhibits noticeable gloss loss, scuffing, and what appears to be a light crease or surface fold visible in the lower-left quadrant of the card face; the COMC watermark partially obscures full surface assessment. Overall wear pattern — rounded corners, gloss loss, probable crease — places this card firmly in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the suspected crease is a surface reflection artifact, and GOOD (2) a real possibility if the lower-left disturbance confirms as a true crease.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border appears slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 top-to-bottom) - this suggests mild-to-moderate left-heavy misregistration that could approach 70/30 L/R, which would cap at NM-7 on centering alone. Corners appear relatively clean from this distance with no obvious blunting or rounding visible, suggesting at least EX-MT condition on that criterion. Surface gloss appears present and reasonably intact, though the holder glare obscures meaningful assessment of print snow, toning, or fine scratches across much of the image area. The white borders show some toning consistent with vintage stock, which is normal for this set and not penalized heavily; overall the card presents well but the significant L/R centering skew and obstructed view prevent a confident call above 7, and hidden surface or corner issues could push this toward 5.

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.

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), indicating off-center but not miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo (lower-left and lower-right appear most worn), consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light toning/aging on the white border areas, which is typical for this set. No obvious creases are visible in the image, but the back is unexamined and a single seller photo limits corner and edge inspection confidence; range is widened accordingly to account for possible hidden back-side or edge wear.
