Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border appears slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners appear reasonably intact with no obvious heavy rounding visible at this resolution, though the bottom-left and bottom-right corners show slight softness that could indicate light wear. The orange border shows no obvious severe chipping, which is a common vulnerability for this series. Surface gloss appears present but the sleeve glare and compressed photo resolution prevent confident assessment of print defects, scratches, or creases; a definitive grade call requires a sharper image and back inspection.
Centering estimate: left/right borders appear approximately 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 55/45 — acceptable for NM-MT range but not tight. The orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution, which is encouraging for this series. Corners appear to have mild rounding on at least the visible lower-left corner; upper corners are harder to assess definitively due to image resolution. Surface gloss appears present with no obvious creases or heavy wear, and the image area looks clean. The photo resolution prevents confident corner or edge assessment, warranting a widened range; a grade of EX-MT (6) feels most likely pending closer inspection of corners and back.
