Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left green border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~60/40 T-B) — centering is off but not severely so, consistent with a PSA 6–7 range. Corners are difficult to assess precisely from this scan resolution; they appear to have mild wear with no obvious rounding visible, but the image compression prevents confident corner evaluation. Surface gloss looks moderate with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the scan is soft enough that light print defects or surface wear could be hidden. Green borders on Series 4 are somewhat more forgiving of chipping than blue Series 1 borders; no obvious edge chips are visible but edges cannot be fully assessed at this resolution — range widened accordingly.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border appears wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — modest but acceptable for the series. Green borders show some visible chipping/wear along edges, particularly the left and bottom edges where the green appears slightly worn and the border definition is soft. Corners are difficult to assess precisely at this resolution but appear to show light rounding — no sharp razor corners visible, consistent with an EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears partially intact with some glare making a definitive read difficult; no obvious creases are visible. The overall presentation and border wear pattern suggest a mid-grade raw card; grade could slip to 4 if corner rounding is more pronounced than the photo reveals, or reach 6 if surface and corners hold up under closer inspection.
