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.

This card shows severe wear throughout. Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 L-favored, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — centering itself is not the primary issue. Corners are all heavily rounded with significant fraying visible at multiple corners. Surface shows multiple deep creases — at least two prominent diagonal creases cross the card face, one through the upper portion and one through the lower portion, clearly visible even at this image resolution. Edges are heavily worn with chipping and fraying. The card borders show significant toning and soiling. Overall condition is consistent with heavy handling over decades; the multiple deep creases and severe corner wear push this firmly into the PR-FR to GOOD range, with the prominent crossing creases likely landing this at PSA 1.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — not ideal but not severely miscut. The card shows significant surface wear including what appears to be a visible crease running diagonally across the lower-left quadrant of the card face, consistent with a VG-grade flaw. Corners show clear rounding on at least two visible corners (upper-left and lower-left most apparent), with edge wear and chipping visible along the left border. Gloss loss is evident across much of the surface. The combination of rounded corners, visible crease, and gloss loss firmly places this in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible only if the crease is shallower than it appears; the lower bound of 2 accounts for the possibility of additional damage on the reverse not visible here.
