Index grading notes
Centering estimate: left/right borders appear roughly 60/40 favoring left, top/bottom roughly 65/35 favoring top — acceptable for the series but not tight. Corners are difficult to assess precisely due to perspective angle and image resolution; they appear to show light rounding consistent with EX to EX-MT range, with no obvious severe blunting. Surface shows some glare mid-card making it hard to confirm full gloss retention; no creases are visible but the photo resolution and angle limit confidence. Edges appear intact with no obvious chipping of the orange border, which is encouraging for this series. The seller's 'EX/EX-MT' self-assessment aligns with what is visible, but corner and surface detail cannot be fully confirmed from this single angled photo — a tighter straight-on shot would narrow this range considerably.
Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R acceptable), top border appears noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B, marginal). The orange border shows no obvious chipping visible at this resolution. Corners appear to have light rounding — not razor sharp but not heavily blunted either, consistent with EX-MT to NM range. Surface gloss appears reasonable with no obvious creases, staining, or print defects visible, though the scan resolution limits corner and edge detail assessment. The card reads as a mid-grade example; corner wear keeps it from NM-MT territory, but no catastrophic flaws are evident.
Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right (~60/40 L-R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T-B) — centering is off but within NM-EX-MT range. The orange borders show no obvious chipping visible from this distance, though the orange series is prone to edge wear. Corners appear reasonably intact with no obvious rounding visible at this resolution, but the image does not allow close corner inspection. Surface gloss looks acceptable with no visible creases or staining. The seller's '7oe' notation likely indicates an off-center qualifier, suggesting the seller themselves grades it around 7 with an OC flag, which is consistent with what the photo shows; a PSA grade of 6 EX-MT is the most probable outcome accounting for centering and typical orange-series border wear.
