Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (roughly 60/40 L-R favoring right), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T-B) - centering is off but not severely so, likely in the 65/35 to 70/30 range on the worse axis. The yellow borders show some visible chipping/wear particularly on the left edge which is a known characteristic of this series but appears more worn than print-normal. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to the card stand obscuring all four corners; what is visible suggests moderate rounding consistent with a 4-5 grade. Surface gloss appears partially intact but with some dulling visible, and there is a possible light crease or surface wrinkle in the upper-left quadrant of the image area though this is uncertain due to photo angle and glare. Back is not visible, and corner closeups are unavailable, so the range is widened accordingly - this card could grade anywhere from a soft VG-EX to EX depending on what closer inspection reveals.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring the left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring the top — not ideal but within EX-MT range on its own. The yellow borders show some visible chipping/wear along the edges, particularly noticeable on the left edge where the border color appears slightly worn. Corners show mild-to-moderate rounding — the lower-left and lower-right corners appear the softest, consistent with an EX grade; upper corners look slightly better but not crisp. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some dulling visible, and there is light overall handling wear. No creases are visible from this photo, but the back is unseen and could reveal hidden defects; the range is widened accordingly.
