Index grading notes

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (~55/45 L/R), top border marginally wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — acceptable for NM-MT range. Black borders show no obvious chipping or wear visible at this resolution. Corners appear reasonably sharp with at most very minor blunting on the lower-left; no rounding consistent with heavy use. Surface gloss appears intact with no visible creases or staining, and print quality looks clean. However, the photo does not allow close inspection of corner tips or edge texture, and Wonder Bread cards often show soft corners from their distribution method (inserted in bread bags), so the lower bound is set conservatively at 6.

Centering estimate: left border ~5%, right border ~5% (tight set — Wonder Bread cards have minimal borders), top ~5%, bottom ~5%; centering is not the primary issue here. The card surface shows severe, pervasive cracking/crazing across virtually the entire face — a dense web of surface fractures consistent with the waxy Wonder Bread card stock drying and cracking with age, which is a significant surface defect unique to this issue. Multiple corner areas show heavy wear with rounding and fraying visible at all four corners. The black border shows significant chipping and wear around the full perimeter. These surface cracks alone would likely cap this at a PSA 1 (PR) to PSA 2 (GOOD) at best; the combination of heavy corner wear, border wear, and pervasive surface cracking pushes this firmly toward a PSA 1. Wonder Bread cards are notoriously prone to this crazing, but the extent here is severe enough that even lenient vintage grading standards cannot accommodate a higher estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so centering is off but not severely miscut. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in the photo, consistent with light-to-moderate handling wear. The black border shows some edge nicks and surface scuffing particularly visible along the left and bottom edges. Surface gloss appears partially retained but with some loss, and there is light soiling or toning visible on the image area. Wonder Bread food-issue cards are notoriously prone to handling wear due to their distribution method (inserted in bread packages), so minor wear is expected and not over-penalized; however, the rounded corners and edge wear here suggest a VG-EX (4) grade is most likely, with EX (5) possible if corners are better than they appear at this resolution.

Centering estimate: left border ~8-9mm, right border ~4-5mm, top border ~4mm, bottom border ~5mm — approximately 65/35 L/R and 55/45 T/B; centering is off but not the primary concern. The card shows heavy surface wear with multiple visible creases running diagonally across the upper left and lower portions of the card, consistent with a heavily handled food-issue card. All four corners appear significantly rounded and worn, with the upper-left corner showing the most damage including what looks like paper stress or a crinkle. Gloss is substantially gone across most of the surface. Wonder Bread food-issue cards are inherently lower grade due to their distribution method (packed with bread), so heavy wear is expected; however the combination of multiple creases, rounded corners, and significant gloss loss places this firmly in the Good to VG range (PSA 2-3), with the creasing potentially pushing it toward a 2.

Centering estimate: left border is noticeably wider than right (~70/30 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B), so left-to-right centering is a significant concern. Corners show visible rounding on at least two corners visible in frame (lower-left and upper-left appear softened), consistent with a VG-range card. The dark border edges show wear and some fraying/roughness, particularly along the right and bottom edges. Surface exhibits toning and some gloss loss typical of Wonder Bread cards, which were distributed with bread and subject to moisture and handling damage; there is noticeable print/color fading across the image. No obvious hard creases are visible from this photo, but surface wear and corner rounding combined with off-centering realistically place this card in the PSA 3–4 range; back condition unknown and could move the grade in either direction.

Centering estimate: left border ~5%, right border ~5%, top border ~5%, bottom border ~8% — borders are very narrow all around consistent with Wonder Bread issue format, centering appears roughly 50/50 L/R and 60/40 T/B, not a centering concern here. However, the card exhibits severe surface damage: multiple heavy creases are clearly visible running diagonally across the upper-left quadrant and through the center of the image, with additional crease lines throughout. The edges show significant wear with heavy chipping and fraying on all four sides, and all four corners are badly rounded and worn. There is also what appears to be paper layer separation or wrinkling across the surface. The cumulative damage — deep creases, heavily worn corners and edges, and surface distress — places this firmly in the PR-FR to GOOD range; the heavy creasing and edge damage push this toward a PSA 1, though a PSA 2 is possible if the grader weighs the card's overall structural integrity as still intact.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably narrower than right (~60/40 L/R), top border slightly larger than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not severely miscut. All four corners show visible rounding and wear, consistent with a VG range card; upper-left corner appears the most worn. The black border on the left edge shows edge wear and what appears to be a small ding or crease near the upper-left corner area. Surface shows moderate gloss loss and the card exhibits the typical handling wear common to this food-issue set (Wonder Bread cards were packed loosely and often came pre-worn). The COMC watermark obscures a portion of the lower surface, slightly limiting surface read, but wear pattern is consistent throughout. Overall condition points to a PSA 3 (VG) with a realistic range of 2–4 depending on any hidden back damage or crease depth.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly wider than right (approx 55/45 L/R), top border noticeably wider than bottom (approx 65/35 T/B) — centering is off but not severely so. Corners appear to show light-to-moderate rounding, particularly visible on the lower corners, consistent with a 5 EX range. The black border on the left and bottom shows no obvious chipping or major edge wear from this view, but the Wonder Bread food issue cards are known to exhibit soft corners from normal handling. Surface gloss appears moderate with no obvious creases visible, though the COMC watermark partially obscures the lower portion of the image making a definitive surface assessment difficult. Range widened due to watermark obstruction and inability to assess card back or corner detail closely.

Centering estimate: left border appears notably wider than right (~65-70% left bias), top border slightly wider than bottom, roughly 65/35 L/R and 60/40 T/B — a meaningful centering issue but not miscut territory. Corners show visible rounding on at least the lower-left and lower-right, consistent with a VG-EX to EX range. Surface gloss appears partially present but dulled, suggesting moderate handling wear; no obvious creases are visible in this photo though the COMC watermark obscures the center. Edges appear reasonably clean without heavy fraying. Wonder Bread food-issue cards are known to have softer stock and typically grade lower than equivalent Topps issues; corner rounding is the primary grade limiter here, placing the estimate solidly at VG-EX (4) with upside to EX (5) if corners are better than they appear and downside to VG (3) if a crease is hidden beneath the watermark.

Centering estimate: left border appears narrower than right by a modest margin (~60/40 L/R), top and bottom borders appear close to 55/45 — no severe miscut detected. The black borders appear reasonably intact with no obvious chipping or significant wear visible at normal scan resolution. Corners appear lightly rounded but not severely so — consistent with EX to EX-MT range; no razor sharpness suggesting a 8+, but no heavy rounding suggesting below a 5. Surface gloss appears decent with no obvious creases or staining visible, though the COMC watermark obscures a portion of the lower-center surface. Wonder Bread food-issue cards are notoriously susceptible to soft corners and surface wear from handling and distribution, so without corner close-ups the range is kept wide; the overall presentation supports a conservative EX-MT (6) point estimate.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) - centering is passable but not tight. Corner condition is the primary grade killer here: the upper-right corner shows visible wear and possible splitting or stress visible even through the sleeve, and the lower-left corner shows rounding/wear; the other two corners appear moderately worn as well. The black border shows chipping/wear consistent with a VG to VG-EX card. Surface gloss appears diminished with some cloudiness visible, though the sleeve obscures a definitive surface read. The upper-right corner damage visible through the sleeve strongly suggests this card lands in the VG (3) range, with VG-EX (4) possible if that corner damage is less severe than it appears, and GOOD (2) possible if there are hidden creases on the back or additional surface issues not visible here.

Centering estimate: left border appears noticeably wider than right (~65/35 L/R), top border slightly wider than bottom (~55/45 T/B) — centering is off but not catastrophically so. The primary grade-killers here are the corners: all four corners show visible wear and rounding, most notably the top-left and top-right corners which display clear fraying/peeling and surface separation — these are VG to VG-EX level corners at best. The top edge shows what appears to be a crease or paper lift/fold at the upper-left corner area, which is a significant structural defect. Surface gloss appears largely intact on the image area but the black border shows wear and the overall card presents as a well-handled example. No visible writing or staining, but the corner and edge damage, combined with the apparent top-edge crease/fold, anchors this firmly in the PSA 2-3 range.

Centering estimate: left border appears slightly narrower than right (~55/45 L/R), top border noticeably thinner than bottom (~60/40 T/B) — centering is acceptable but not tight. Corners: upper-left and lower-left corners show slight rounding/softening visible at this resolution; upper-right and lower-right appear marginally better but not sharp. Edges appear reasonably clean with no obvious nicks visible, consistent with Wonder Bread's typically rougher cut stock. Surface shows no visible creases, staining, or major print defects; gloss appears moderate with some expected wear for the set. Back is not visible so hidden creases or staining cannot be ruled out, warranting a widened range; the point estimate of 6 (EX-MT) reflects the light corner wear and slightly off centering with an otherwise clean surface.

Centering: left border appears slightly narrower than right (est. ~55/45 L/R), top border notably thinner than bottom (est. ~65/35 T/B) — acceptable for the set. Corners: upper-left and upper-right corners show visible wear and slight rounding under inspection; lower corners appear marginally better but not sharp. Surface: image shows reasonable gloss retention with no obvious creases visible from this angle, though the Wonder Bread issue is notorious for soft surfaces and staining from proximity to bread packaging — no staining apparent here. Edges appear slightly rough which is normal for this food-issue cut quality. Back condition is unknown and Wonder Bread backs frequently show grease/moisture staining which can suppress the grade; widening range accordingly.
