Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly narrower than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) — centering is quite good overall, no severe tilt. Corners appear reasonably sharp with minimal visible rounding or wear at this resolution; no corner is obviously blunted but fine detail is hard to confirm. Surface gloss looks intact with good color saturation and no obvious creases, scuffs, or print defects visible. The card photo is single-image front-only with no corner macro shots, so corner condition and any back defects remain uncertain — range is widened accordingly; a NM 7 is the most likely landing point pending corner and back inspection.

The card shows heavy overall wear consistent with a low-grade copy. Multiple creases are clearly visible — a significant diagonal crease runs across the upper portion of the image area, and at least one horizontal crease is evident in the lower third. Centering appears approximately 60/40 left-right and 55/45 top-bottom, which is not the primary concern here. Corner detail is obscured by the photo angle and Comc watermark, but the card's worn edges and visible surface damage suggest rounded corners throughout. Gloss loss is apparent across the surface, and the card shows general toning and soiling consistent with a GOOD (2) to VG (3) grade; the severity of the creasing makes a 2 most likely, with a 3 possible only if one of the apparent creases is a photographic artifact.

Centering appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom, which is not the primary concern here. The card shows significant surface wear including multiple visible creases — at least one prominent crack/crease running diagonally across the lower portion of the card face is clearly visible, along with what appears to be additional stress lines. All four corners show clear rounding and wear consistent with heavy handling. The black border areas show considerable scuffing and surface loss. Gloss appears largely gone. The overall condition profile — rounded corners, multiple visible creases, heavy surface wear, and border abrasion — places this solidly in the Good (2) to VG (3) range, with the crease severity pulling the estimate toward the lower end.

Centering appears roughly 60/40 left-to-right and 55/45 top-to-bottom, which is not the primary concern here. The card shows significant surface wear including what appears to be a diagonal crease running across the lower-left quadrant of the image area, plus heavy corner wear visible on all four corners with notable rounding. The black border shows substantial chipping and edge wear consistent with heavy handling. Surface gloss appears largely lost. The combination of rounded corners, visible crease(s), and overall surface degradation places this firmly in the VG to GOOD range; the crease alone prevents this from reaching VG-EX or better.
