Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders appear more even at approximately 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophic. The orange border shows visible wear and chipping along the left and bottom edges, consistent with VG-EX range. Corners appear rounded on at least two visible corners (lower-left and upper-left), suggesting handling wear. Surface shows some gloss loss and the card stock looks slightly worn, but no obvious creases are visible in this scan. Back cannot be assessed, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly; OPC stock tends to be lighter and the coarser cut can mimic edge wear.

Centering estimate: left border noticeably wider than right (approx 65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T-B) — centering is off but not catastrophic. The orange border shows visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with handling. Corners appear rounded at all four points, most notably the bottom-left and top-right, suggesting moderate wear in the VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some soil/print spotting on the white tunic area of the image, though this may be print artifact rather than surface damage — difficult to confirm from this scan. No crease is visible from this angle but the scan quality and angle prevent definitive assessment of the back or fine surface scratches.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — acceptable but not tight. The orange border shows some chipping/wear along the bottom-left edge near the starburst logo. Corners appear lightly rounded, particularly the bottom corners, consistent with modest handling wear — no razor sharpness visible but no severe rounding either. Surface shows some light texture loss/gloss reduction typical of OPC stock; no visible creases, staining, or major print defects. Back is not visible so hidden flaws (creases, writing) cannot be ruled out, warranting a widened range.
