Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L/R favoring right), top border slightly narrower than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — within NM-MT range on both axes. Blue borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corners appear moderately sharp with possible very light wear on one or two corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the sleeve glare obscures the lower-left quadrant slightly. Without a back view or corner macro shots, a wider range is warranted; the card presents solidly in the EX-MT neighborhood but corner condition uncertainty and the OPC blue-border chip-prone nature push the floor down to EX.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is passable but bottom border is tight — within NM-MT range on one axis but pushing limits on top/bottom. Blue border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably intact with only minor rounding visible on the bottom corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the sleeve glare on the lower half partially obscures the bottom corners and surface. Back is not visible, and corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed at this scan resolution, which widens the range — a closer look at corners could push this up to 7 or down to 5.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 left-right favoring right), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 top-bottom) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Blue borders show visible chipping/wear along the left and bottom edges, consistent with typical OPC blue-border fragility. Corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, particularly at bottom-left and bottom-right, consistent with a PSA 5 EX range; no corners look sharp enough for NM territory. Surface shows some gloss loss but no obvious creases are visible from this photo; the image is slightly soft which obscures fine surface detail. Overall presentation suggests a solid EX (5) with a realistic range of 4-6 depending on back condition and corner examination under magnification.

Centering: left border appears narrower than right (~60% of right border width), top border slightly narrower than bottom — estimated L/R roughly 40/60, T/B roughly 45/55; centering is off but not dramatically so, consistent with OPC press norms. Blue border shows minor chipping/wear visible along the left and bottom edges under inspection. Corners: the upper-left and lower-left corners appear to show light rounding, with the other two corners looking marginally sharper but still not crisp — consistent with EX to VG-EX range. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible from this photo, though micro-creases cannot be ruled out. Back is not visible, limiting confidence; the range is widened accordingly to account for hidden wear or staining.
