Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~60/40 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (~65/35 T/B) — passable but not tight. The red borders on all four sides appear intact with no obvious chipping, which is a positive for this series. Corners: the top-left and bottom-right corners show visible rounding/softness under inspection, while top-right and bottom-left appear slightly better but not sharp — consistent with a well-used EX to EX-MT range. Surface gloss appears moderate with some light wear; no creases are visible in this photo, but the back is unseen. Overall the card presents solidly in the EX range, with corner wear being the primary grade limiter; a PSA 5 is the most likely outcome, with 6 possible if corners are sharper than they appear and back is clean.
