Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (approximately 65/35 L/R), top and bottom borders appear roughly 55/45 T/B — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The blue border shows visible chipping and wear along all four edges, most pronounced at the top-left and bottom-right corners which show moderate-to-heavy rounding consistent with a VG to VG-EX range. Surface shows light gloss loss and some scuffing/print wear visible in the photo background area of the card image. No crease is definitively confirmed from this single front-only photo, though the seller's 'mixed condition' description warrants caution; if a crease is present on the back or face it would anchor this at a 2-3. The blue border chippage alone on this set is a known grade-killer and pushes this card toward the lower end of the range.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 65-70% left / 30-35% right), and top border is slightly wider than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — left/right centering is a meaningful concern. The blue borders show visible chipping and wear along the edges, particularly noticeable on the right side. Corners appear rounded with wear visible even through the sleeve, suggesting at minimum VG-level corner degradation; the lower-right corner in particular looks soft. Surface shows print texture issues (snow/grain) common to the set but the photo through the sleeve makes it difficult to distinguish sleeve distortion from actual surface creases — the rough, mottled appearance of the image raises concern about possible light creasing or surface wear. Overall condition evidence (rounded corners, edge chipping on blue border, centering stress) points to a PSA 3 VG as the most likely grade, with a range of 2–4 depending on what the back and corner closeups reveal.
