Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders look close to even (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for NM range. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or heavy wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with at most very minor blunting on one or two corners, consistent with a 7–8 range, but the scan resolution and sleeve glare prevent confident corner assessment. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining visible. The overall presentation is consistent with an NM (7) card with upside to NM-MT (8) if corners prove clean under close inspection, and downside to EX-MT (6) if the sleeve is hiding light wear.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55-60% left), top border slightly larger than bottom (~55-60% top), overall within NM-MT range on both axes. Corners cannot be assessed with high precision through the sleeve but appear to show light wear on at least two corners — no obvious rounding but the photo resolution prevents ruling out soft tips. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping or inking defects visible at this resolution, and surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no creases discernible. The sleeve glare and scan compression prevent a firm corner call, widening the range from EX-MT (6) to NM-MT (8); absent a clean high-resolution image or corner close-ups, 7 NM is the most defensible single estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — within NM-MT range horizontally, acceptable vertically. The yellow border shows no obvious chipping along visible edges, which is encouraging for this series. Corner detail is obscured by the sleeve and scan resolution — no obvious rounding or heavy wear is evident, but the image is not crisp enough to rule out light corner wear at the tips. Surface appears to have decent gloss with no visible creases or staining, but the scan quality and sleeve glare prevent confident assessment of print defects or subtle surface wear. Given the uncertainty from a single low-resolution sleeved image, the range is widened accordingly; a raw card presenting this cleanly in hand could grade anywhere from EX (5) to NM (7) depending on corner and edge condition under direct inspection.
