Index grading notes

Centering: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, and top/bottom appears approximately 60/40 favoring top — acceptable for a 6-7 grade on this wandering-centering issue. Corners: at this resolution the corners appear to have light wear with minor rounding on at least two visible corners (bottom-right most evident), consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonably intact with no visible creases, though the photo cannot confirm the back or reveal hairline scratches. Edges appear clean without obvious chipping of the orange border, though the bottom edge near the logo shows some wear that needs closer inspection; back condition and corner micro-wear under magnification are unknowns that widen the range.

Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 55/45 to 60/40 favoring left, and top/bottom appears approximately 55/45 — acceptable for NM range. The orange border shows no obvious chipping along the edges from this view. Corners appear reasonably sharp with at most very light wear on the visible corners; no obvious rounding detected but the single-angle photo prevents full corner assessment. Surface gloss appears largely intact with no visible creases or staining; print quality looks clean with good color saturation. The card's slight bow/curve is a cosmetic issue that PSA may note but typically does not cap the grade; the primary uncertainty is corner and edge condition on the hidden sides, which keeps the range wide at 6–8.
