Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 — acceptable for this issue; top/bottom appears closer to 65/35 with the bottom border notably narrower, pulling centering down slightly. The COMC watermark obscures the center surface, making surface assessment difficult. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding — the upper-right corner looks the softest from this photo, consistent with a grade-5 EX range. No creases are visible but the watermark blocks a clean read of the central surface. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious major chips or tears visible along the die-cut film-strip border; gloss appears moderate but not full, suggesting some handling wear. Given the watermark obstruction, range is widened to account for hidden surface issues.

Centering: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for the grade range. The filmstrip border on the right side appears slightly narrower than the left, consistent with mild off-center cutting common in this sticker issue. Corner inspection at this resolution shows the top-left and bottom-right corners appear to have light rounding or softness, while top-right looks slightly sharper; no sharp crisp corners are definitively visible. Surface appears to have moderate original gloss with no obvious creases, scratches, or staining visible, and the black border shows no significant chipping. Without corner macro shots and a view of the sticker peel condition on the back, the range cannot be tightened further; sticker issues are frequently downgraded for adhesive residue or peel damage on reverse.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top and bottom borders appear closer to 55/45 — not a severe centering issue but off. Corner inspection at this resolution shows visible rounding on at least two corners (lower left and upper left appear most worn), consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. The surface shows muted gloss with apparent toning/yellowing on the sticker border area, and there is noticeable overall wear and possible light surface creasing, though a definitive crease cannot be confirmed with certainty at this image quality. The seller's code 'O6or' may hint at additional flaws; the card as photographed presents most likely as a PSA 3 (VG), with the range widened downward to 2 given possible hidden surface creasing and upward to 4 if corner wear is shallower than it appears.
