Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears approximately 10-12% wider than right border (roughly 60/40 L/R), top border appears slightly tighter than bottom (roughly 55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable for a PSA 7 range. Corners: from this distance all four corners appear to have some light rounding or softening, particularly the bottom-left and bottom-right, suggesting wear consistent with EX-MT to NM range; no sharp points visible but no severe rounding either. Surface/gloss: the card appears to retain reasonable gloss with no obvious creases, scratches, or major print defects visible; the green border shows no significant chipping. Limiting factors: corner sharpness cannot be fully confirmed at this resolution, and the back is unseen — a point-grade of 6 (EX-MT) reflects the visible light corner wear with the range widened to account for hidden information.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom appears approximately 55/45 favoring top — not ideal but not severely off-center. The green border shows visible chipping/wear along all four edges, consistent with this series' known border fragility. Corners appear rounded to light-to-moderate degree, with the upper-left corner showing the most wear and a small blemish/nick visible. Surface shows significant print wear/fading giving a washed-out, dull appearance with noticeable gloss loss across the face — this is the most grade-limiting factor. No crease is definitively confirmed from this single photo, but surface scuffing and toning are evident; the card stand obscures the bottom border detail, limiting confidence in the final assessment.
