Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM-MT range but the camera angle introduces uncertainty. The yellow borders appear reasonably bright with no obvious chipping visible on edges. Corners cannot be assessed with precision at this distance and angle, but no obvious rounding or soft corners are immediately apparent — they appear at least lightly worn at best, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears present but the photo resolution and angle limit evaluation of print defects or surface wear. No creases are visible, which is consistent with the seller's 'high grade' claim; the range of 5–7 reflects uncertainty about corner and edge condition not resolvable from this single medium-distance photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (approximately 70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (approximately 55/45 T/B) - centering is off but not catastrophically so. More concerning are the surface issues: the card shows visible creasing in at least one area on the front (a diagonal stress line is apparent near the lower left quadrant of the photo area), and the yellow border shows chipping/wear consistent with heavy handling. Corners appear rounded, particularly the lower-left and upper-right, suggesting VG to VG-EX territory at best. Gloss loss is evident across the surface. The combination of visible crease, corner rounding, and border wear places this card firmly in the PSA 2-4 range, with a point estimate of 3 (VG) being most likely given the crease and corner condition visible from this single front photo.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — reasonably well-centered, no miscut detected. The yellow borders show no obvious chipping or heavy wear, which is the critical vulnerability on this series. Corners appear to have light wear on at least the bottom-left and possibly top-right corners, suggesting minor rounding consistent with NM range rather than NM-MT. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases visible, though the photo angle makes it difficult to assess gloss loss or print defects with full confidence. A back-of-card inspection and corner closeups would be needed to narrow this range further; the seller's 'NR MINT' claim seems plausible but optimistic — a PSA 7 NM is the most likely outcome.
