Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approx 55/45 T/B) - centering is reasonable but not tight. The blue OPC border shows some chipping/wear on the edges, particularly visible on the lower corners which show light rounding. Surface gloss appears mostly intact with no visible creases from this angle. The image photo is decent but corner closeups are not available, and the back is unseen; corners appear to show light wear consistent with a 6 EX-MT range, though a 7 NM is possible if corner wear is truly minimal under magnification.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (roughly 70/30 L/R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophic for OPC. Blue borders show visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most apparent on the left and bottom edges; this is a hallmark OPC blue-border vulnerability and materially affects grade. Corners appear rounded to lightly blunted at all four points — no sharp corners visible, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface shows some gloss loss and what appears to be light handling wear or minor scuffing in the image area; no obvious hard crease is visible but the photo resolution limits certainty on faint surface creases. Given the edge/border chipping and corner condition, this card most likely grades VG-EX (4), with EX (5) possible if the corners and surface are cleaner than they appear, and VG (3) possible if hidden creasing is present on the back.
