Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border moderately wider than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is serviceable for an NM-range card but not tight. Corners appear lightly worn with minor rounding visible at all four tips, most notably the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with light handling wear placing this in EX-MT to NM territory. Surface gloss appears present and reasonably intact with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the scan resolution limits fine surface inspection. The seller's '7oe' notation may imply an eye-grade of 7, but visible corner rounding and the photo's limits suggest a conservative range of 5–7 with 6 (EX-MT) as the most defensible single estimate; back condition and corner sharpness under magnification would be decisive.

Centering estimate: the orange border appears wider on the left (~55%) vs. right (~45%) horizontally, and top border looks slightly narrower than bottom — roughly 55/45 L/R and 55/45 T/B, which is acceptable; however the shooting angle introduces uncertainty. Corner assessment is limited by photo resolution and perspective: corners appear to have light-to-moderate rounding, consistent with EX to VG-EX range, though no severe rounding or obvious creases are visible. Surface gloss appears moderate with some loss typical of a handled raw vintage card; no obvious staining or creases are detected, but the angled shot and small image size prevent confident corner or edge inspection. Given the photo limitations, I cannot rule out minor corner wear or a light surface crease, so the range is widened to 4–7 with a point estimate of 5 (EX).

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (roughly 65/35 L-R), top and bottom borders look closer to 55/45 T-B — centering is workable but off horizontally. Corners appear to have light rounding on at least the visible bottom corners, consistent with EX to EX-MT wear rather than sharp NM corners. Surface shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases or staining visible; orange border shows no dramatic chipping in the photo. Back is not visible, and the single seller photo does not allow confident corner or edge assessment — range is widened accordingly.

Centering: left/right orange border appears approximately 55/45 to 60/40 left-heavy, top/bottom appears roughly 60/40 top-heavy — centering is acceptable for a 6-7 range. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear mildly soft but not sharply rounded; no obvious creasing visible on the surface. Surface: gloss appears present but slightly uneven in the lower portion of the card near the starburst; no obvious print defects or staining visible. Cannot assess back condition, true corner sharpness, or fine edge chipping from this single front photo — range widened accordingly.
