Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears noticeably thicker than bottom (~65/35 T/B), so centering is acceptable for a 7 on the horizontal axis but tighter on vertical. Green borders show no obvious chipping or major edge wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have very light rounding on at least the bottom-left and bottom-right corners, consistent with EX-MT to NM range rather than Mint. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the photo angle and resolution prevent definitive corner close-up assessment. Seller's 'high grade mint' claim appears optimistic given the corner softness; a realistic PSA estimate lands in the EX-MT (6) to NM (7) range, with back condition unknown and potentially grade-limiting.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 favoring top — acceptable for a 7-8 range. Green borders show no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is a positive sign for this series. Corners appear reasonably sharp from this distance but slight softening is possible on one or two corners — hard to confirm without closeup. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or staining visible, and the image is clean. The back is not shown, and corner macro shots are unavailable, so the range is intentionally widened; a back-side crease or heavier corner wear could drop this toward a 6, while truly crisp corners and clean reverse could support an 8.
