Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom — approximate L/R ratio 65/35, T/B ratio 55/45, which pushes toward EX-MT territory at best but the left-heavy horizontal shift is a concern. Corners cannot be closely inspected at this resolution but the bottom-left corner near the starburst logo shows what appears to be mild rounding; top corners look relatively sharp. Orange border edges appear intact with no obvious chipping or major wear visible, consistent with mid-grade. Surface gloss is difficult to assess due to scan compression and the central watermark; no creases are visible but cannot be ruled out on the back or in subtle surface stress. The bilingual caption confirms OPC origin. Overall a mid-grade EX estimate with range widened due to limited resolution and inability to inspect corners and back.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. The orange border shows no obvious chipping along the edges visible in this photo. Corners appear to have light rounding at the visible edges, consistent with moderate use — no sharp razor corners but no severe rounding either, pointing toward EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears intact with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though a single front photo cannot fully assess the back or hidden corner tips. The image is well-lit and reasonably sharp, but corner closeups are absent, keeping uncertainty wide enough to span from EX (5) to NM (7).
